A large chunk of car accidents and collisions among teens are due to their lack of attention on the road. And the number one reason for this has been whittled down to these mobile devices called cellular phones. Whether it is a call or for sending a text message, it only takes a second to make a different for a driver to get into an accident.

Now, federal laws are tightening up, issuing a new law that will ban texting while driving. The ultimatum laid down is that should states fail to address this concern, concerned states stand to lose annual federal highway funding.

However, a Texas study demonstrates that certain teen drivers have fewer crashes via the use a certain product called Driver Ed in a Box. Parents who follow the Driver Ed in a Box program provide nine months to a year of extended supervised training to teach their teen to drive.

All drivers need to undergo the necessary protocol to be issued a driver’s license. Apparently, this has been missing in Texas, leaving teenagers to drive at their own discretion. However, all that is set to change as the traditional drivers license exams and tests are brought back thanks to this bill by Governor Perry.

The House Bill 339 is authored by Larry Phillips which can be viewed in full here.

House Bill 339 was signed by Governor Perry on June 19, 2009 and it becomes effective on September 1, 2009. As a result of this Bill, an on-road driving test will be required for minors, drivers aged 16 and 17, who are getting their driver license. Driving instructors can no longer waive the actual driving test.

A study of Texas driving records shows that 16 and 17 year old graduates of Driver Ed in a Box have a collision rate of less than two percent (2%) compared to all other programs in Texas whose graduates have a collision rate of eleven percent (11%).

To be well educated and mature, people often have to be educated. It is the same thing when it comes to driving. Lack of education and orientation as far as driving is concerned often result in mishaps and the famed road rage. Arguments which can escalate to physical altercations to worst case scenarios can happen. And the best thing that drivers can do to date is try and avoid them.

A large part of the road rage drivers come from the new and teen drivers. These are the group who are rookies in the driving industry, lacking the necessary understanding of road courtesy which can turn to violence. But Drive Ed in a Box aims to change that, investing heavily on driving education to curb down road rage with a money back guarantee.

Driver Ed in a Box, LLC announces it’s new money back guarantee. Your teen driver will drive collision-free for their first year of driving, or they will refund your purchase price.

With the whole world having a hard time managing their finances, Driver Ed in a Box offers a $300 gift certificate on grocery purchases if they purchase their products online. It is the least that the company can do for now although this promo is good only for the summer. This offer is a Summer Special and is good for all orders placed online from Thursday, June 4, 2009 until Monday, June 8, 2009.

“We know it’s important that young teens learn to drive in a safe, collision-free manner and this is our way to help them get started in that direction. This is the only program to my knowledge that guarantees that new teen drivers will drive collision-free for one year or your money back,” said Mr. Barrett.

The money back guarantee offer does not sanction irresponsible behavior because the guarantee is voided if the student/new driver is driving under the influence (DUI), driving while intoxicated (DWI), driving in violation of any curfew law, driving in violation of any provisional license requirement or uses a wireless communication device during or prior to the collision.
