Lesson 6: Review and Finish Off

It is suggested that two classroom sessions be set aside, perhaps after Lesson Two (2) or Lesson Three (3) to provide for administration of the sign, written, and vision examinations.

It is suggested that, in light of the need to place considerable emphasis on issues associated with drinking and driving, that instructors may wish to schedule additional class sessions beyond the 100 minutes suggested for Lessons 8 and 9 (Driver Condition), particularly if the Over-the-Line materials are utilized. (This action would be in keeping with the recommendation of the All-Party Select Committee on Driving Safety.) The Over-the-Line kit is intended to serve as a complement to, not a replacement for, other valuable resource materials that are available from a variety of local sources, such as local D.W.I. committees. In addition, circumstances in your community may require the instructor to reschedule some sessions to deal with a "teachable moment"; such as, a serious motor vehicle crash in the community or to accommodate a guest speaker. Flexibility is the key!
