Some driver ed instructors fear that having options for driver ed in NH will have a negative financial impact on their profession. There are around 300 driver ed instructors in New Hampshire. They are very organized and we expect that they will all be at the hearing testifying against HB 1440.<\/p>\n<p>This is a chance to take a stand for something you believe in (a consumer\u2019s right to options, a teenager\u2019s ability to get their driver\u2019s license and be an educated driver)!<\/p>\n<p>Questions, contact Jacqueline Roland at 847-9070 or email: affordabledriverednh@gmail.com <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gencourt.state.nh.us\/bill_status\/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=2247&#038;sy=2012&#038;sortoption=billnumber&#038;txtsessionyear=2012&#038;txtbillnumber=hb1440\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HB 1440<\/a> would allow NH teens options when it comes to driver ed.  Currently they have none. If a teenager wants to get their driver\u2019s license before age 18, they must go to a driving school. If a teen can\u2019t afford driving school, is unhappy with the service their area driving school provides, or can\u2019t fit inflexible driving school classroom and driving time into their schedule, they have no other option. HB 1440 would change that by giving families a safe, secure, DOS approved, affordable online driver ed option with parent provided behind-the-wheel training.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The supporters of the Driver Ed Bill would like you to attend the bill\u2019s public hearing in front of the Senate Transportation Committee on Thursday, April 5th at 10:30 AM in Legislative Office Building Rooms 306 &#038; 308, 33 North Street, Concord NH.
