Driver and Traffic
Safety Education involves all those learning experiences provided for the purpose of
helping students learn to use motor vehicles safely, efficiently, and effectively. This
objective is achieved through sequences of interrelated experiences involving both
classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction. NC Law requires 30 hours of classroom
instruction and 6 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction.
The Cumberland
County Schools offer Driver Education after school hours during the Fall and Spring
semesters and two summer sessions are offered annually. Check
Dates
to Remember for the dates that the sessions will be offered
for the coming school year. The practical or behind-the-wheel
phase of the course is offered after school hours and/or on Saturday during the school
year and concurrent with the classroom phase in the summer.
