The rules have changed for drivers education in Massachusetts regarding junior operators. As of September, the RMV requires all parents and guardians of operators under the age of eighteen to take a two hour class with the drivers education student. This new mandate will actually increase the junior operators actual driving instruction behind the wheel, and the added complexity of having their parent present with the instructor during the driving lesson also adds to their experience and skills on the road. This new rule requiring parents to take an active role may seem inconvenient but the outcome is quite positive. Parents, while shadowing their child's lesson, often get the opportunity to get a refreshing look at driver education and often times takes the tips given by the instructor back to their teachings when their child is driving with them.
For drivers education programs in Massachusetts there are driving classes offered by a Sharon Driving School, a Dedham Driving School, an Easton Driving School, and a Stoughton Driving School. Each of these driver programs are designed to encompass all of the legal requirements necessary to become sufficiently skilled so as to be completely comfortable with the road test, and to become a licensed operator in the state of Massachusetts, totally knowledgeable in the skillfully successful operation of a motor vehicle.

They will take a road rules test, to be certain that they understand the dos and don'ts of safe, legal motor vehicle operation, and they will take a practice road test to assess their ability. Then they will receive road test tips that will teach them how to pass the road test, adding to the total sense of confidence.
