April 24, 2007

It is not too late to register! Don't drive your parents crazy; drive yourself! Cerro Coso Community College is supporting new drivers by offering a Community Education Class in Driver's Education.

Driver's Education will present to the beginning driver a practical and realistic guide to the fundamentals of driving and the rules of the road. This class will take the student step by step from the basics of vehicle control to the specific dangers of different driving environments to the responsibilities of vehicle ownership. The student will receive knowledge to help him/her be a safe and competent driver. Parental consent is required.
