Passing a driver's education class with 30 hours of behind the wheel experience as was stated in the article may be sufficient for most. Most driver's education classes have a couple of student riders, while one is operating the vehicle with the instructor. Just so riding hours don't count in the total. When I got my license there was no driver's education at my high school. My dad taught me on routine trips here and there and I probably wasn't behind the wheel 30 hours before I got my license. I remember plainly the trooper that gave me my driving exam saying when we parked after the test, you have passed and you can now get your license to learn how to drive. He didn't indicate any errors that I had made and I had even parallel parked a full size 51 Buick between two other cars, not cones. Others that I knew who took the test during that time said they were told there errors after the test.
This law if passed will put the burden on the schools to give the students a good education. If the schools are capable enough to do that, eliminate another step and let them issue the license. Personally I don't see schools having the ability to give each student 30 hours of 1 on 1 driving experience.
