National Press Release

OAKLAND, Calif., June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- As an approved DMV provider of online drivers ed in Nebraska, DriversEd.com is making their web-based drivers education instruction available through the DriversEd.com Drivers Safety Course.

"Partnering with DriversEd.com brings students the convenience of taking the classroom portion of their drivers education all online, at their own pace," says William Saxton, owner of Road Ready Driver Training based in Lincoln. "This affiliation combines their academic know-how with our hands-on, behind-the-wheel training."

The academic portion of the DriversEd.com Drivers Safety Course is equivalent to the 20 hour in-class theoretical portion of drivers education. The fully interactive experience includes videos and animations about real on-the-road scenarios. The carefully constructed curriculum is designed to help students become safe, confident, and defensive drivers. The behind-the-wheel portion of the course consists of 6 hours of behind-the-training via an approved driving school.

Students that successfully complete the DrivresEd.com Drivers Safety Course will receive a Nebraska-recognized certificate-of-completion of drivers education. The course cost is $359 and will help students:

    -- Prepare for learners permit
    -- Successfully complete their drivers education course
    -- Master behind-the wheel skills needed for road test
    -- Include the drive test for issuance of the Provisional Operator's
       Permit

Teens in Nebraska are eligible to apply for a Provisional Operator's Permit at age 16. The first step to becoming a licensed driver is obtaining a learners permit. Then students have the option of completing 50 hours of driving under supervision or they can significantly shrink these hours by completing a drivers safety course.

"The DriversEd.com Safety Course successfully waives the 50 hours of supervised driving. After 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training, students can take their final Nebraska driving test as part of their in-car lessons," says Saxton.

"We're committed to expanding the availability of drivers education to students everywhere, in cities and rural areas alike. The more choice and availability of drivers education, the better for everyone sharing America's roads and highways," says DriversEd.com co-founder Gary Tsifrin. "Our long-term goal is to see the DriversEd.com driver ed course included in statewide initiatives throughout the country."

DriversEd.com was the first to bring the driver education course online. Since 2003, the course has had over 750,000 graduates. In addition to Nebraska, the DiversEd.com driver ed course is licensed and available to first time drivers in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, Nevada, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia.
