These rules won't be limited to just attending driver's education and successfully passing their driving test though. I'm sure that school grades will also have to be maintained, curfews will be in effect, and of course, their driving skills will be monitored. There will be a zero-tolerance policy regarding unsafe driv- ing practices or breaking the rules of the road. Driving Rules Strict regulations like these demonstrate how much parents truly love and care for their kids by trying to keep them safe, even if the kids don't really believe it themselves. Driving rules are designed to keep drivers between the lines of traffic instead of crossing over those lines into dangerous situations.
