DVD Reviews of Rules of the Road: A Complete Driver's Ed Course
DVD Review: Alright for a library checkout.
Summary: 3 Stars
I checked this DVD out at my local library (along with a copy of "The New California Drivers Test Made Easy" and the DMV handbook) to help me study for the DMV's written and driving test. It provides the material pretty well. The target audience is younger teens in high school going for their youth permit, but can also help with young adults, adults, and seniors.
All the driving materials, laws, regulations, and driving tests are mentioned and covered. There's even a "Show me more" option, which goes into detail about what was mentioned with a detailed 3D diagram with multi-angle options to see it from a different perspective. Sometimes this felt unnecessary, but other cases it helped me.
Although the bit with the State Trooper on the "Alcohol and Driving" bit felt worn out and melodramatic. Yes, it addresses an issue that is a serious problem, but I personally know not to drink and drive, so to me it was telling me not to do I didn't plan on anyway. Even if I did, I would have dismissed it as nothing. "Red Asphalt" seems to be more convincing with it's true graphic nature.
The humor on this is pretty dry and cheesy, but I expected this, as ALL educational videos have bland and cheesy humor. After all, I'm not watching this to be entertained.
DO NOT purchase this DVD unless you are teaching a Driver's Ed class. After you or your child are successful with getting your/their license, the DVD is pretty much done and useless. My local city library had this DVD available for check out for no additional fee.
DVD Review: Nice road rules video for the beginning driver.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very, very basic road rules review DVD. My son enjoyed it, because it was being taught by actual teenagers, not adults. It is very basic, and I don't know if it is comprehensive enough to really help on it's own. We purchased it in conjunction with the book, "Crash-Proof Your Kids," which is supurb. The DVD alone is good, but it is hardly a "complete" driver's ed course. It is a good road rules overview.DVD Review: Disappointing
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this based on positive reviews from collegues, but was disappointed when I received it. The questions posed were not challenging. DVD Review: Good Road Rule Review for TV learners
Summary: 3 Stars
A friend lent this to me as I was doing research for my audio CD for safe driving "Mind the Road" - Mind the Road: Waking Hypnosis for a Conscious Commute. Its not the best quality instructional video, but it captures the important points and is worth the price for those people who learn more by watching TV then reading books/manualsDVD Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter failed the test to get her driving permit. I bought her this DVD and she watched it one day and passed the driving permit test the next day. Much cheaper then drivers ed.
