Homework Assignment: Rate Your Parents as They Drive


Use this evaluation form to rate your parent's driving.

This is a silent assignment. In other words, you shouldn't make comments out loud while you observe. That might provoke or distract the driver which is dangerous (on many levels).


Homework Assignment: Getting to Know Your Car

Here's some homework to help you know your vehicle better. Print this out, get a clipboard and head for the car you will be driving.

Some of this information can be found on the car's registration and insurance card, if you have one, as well as the owner's manual for your vehicle. A parent or guardian should accompany you with the keys to access these documents and to guide you as needed.
