Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and older siblings have a tremendous influence on new teen drivers. Here is an opportunity for you to learn more about how you influence your teen driver, to learn more about the MN Graduate Driver’s License, and to get some feedback from experts regarding teen drivers.
Under a new law in Minnesota, parents and/or guardians are required to attend a Parent Component Driver’s Education class. If you have a teenager who will be attempting the driving test for their license after January 1, 2015 you will need to attend this class. This is a once per child type class. You have to attend this class for each of your pre-driving teens as they approach their driving road test. Certificates of attendance will be issued and you must submit this certificate to the examination center when arriving for the driving road test. Parents who decide not to attend this class are required to log 50 hours of practice driving with their teen instead of the regular 40 hours (15 hours must still be at night).
Lester Prairie High School will be hosting a Parent Component Driver’s Education class on Thursday April 7, 2016 from 7:00-8:30 p.m. in room 126 at LPHS. Presenters will include a Driver’s Education teacher, a Law Enforcement Officer, an Insurance agent, and others who have a stake in your child as a teen driver.
Please contact Mr. Mike Bjork at the Lester Prairie High School to register or if you have any questions. Please register by Monday April 4, 2016 so we make sure we have enough materials. Mr. Bjork can be reached at (320) 395-2521 or at bjork@lp.k12.mn.us
