Driving 101

Sponsored by the California Driver Education Association, and Statewide Driving School , in Sacramento, California, this site is dedicated to those driving instructors, both in public education and commercial driving schools, as well as the parents of teenagers, learning to drive.

Our purpose is to present links, articles, and information related to driving, not just in California, but from all over the world. If there is something in particular that you are looking for, please contact us with a request.

Highway transportation deaths in 2004 were 42,636, or, 117 every day, 5 every hour, 1 every 12 minutes.(source:NTSB Press Release, September 9, 2005 SB-05-26)

Forty percent of all teen deaths in the U.S. are the result of motor vehicle crashes.

Most articles found DIRECTLY on these pages are referenced to California law; your state may be somewhat different.
We have included articles of interest from other countries, as well.

Many of the articles and opinions expressed in these pages, are of, and by, the President of Statewide Driving School, and of the California Driver Education Association, Mr. Glenard A. Munson. To know more about him, please see our PEOPLE page.

Think on this: how many students fill your teens' high school? How many high school populations are wiped out each year because of traffic collisions? What would you do, or say, if this many teens died from a disease, or a war, or ANY other cause? Why is DRIVING different?

COMING SOON: Driving-101 will be the home site for DMV-Approved (not just "accepted") Home Study and Internet-based Driver Education courses. Check back with us periodically for more news on this.
