As you and your teen begin using Driver Ed in a Box®, you’re going to start using the commentary when you get to the in-vehicle training, and it just might feel a little awkward at first. Don’t worry, that’s normal. It’s not a natural thing, for most of us, to narrate everything we’re doing. Of […]

I bet when you were a teenager, you couldn’t wait to get behind the wheel and learn to drive. I know I was eager to be a driver like my parents! It used to be that was a right of passage for teenagers: a milestone of independence. These days, though, a bigger milestone for some […]
