Teens benefit from California driver's ed classes for a number of reasons. First, the classes help teens get acquainted with the rules of the road, so that they understand what is expected of them when they actually get behind the wheel of a vehicle. Secondly, the behind-the-wheel courses give teens practice so that they can be confident when they do start driving on their own. Finally, the driving safety portion of the class can show teens how to stay safe and demonstrate the consequences of reckless driving.
