Driver & Traffic Safety Education in New York State schools is a course implemented via a joint partnership between the New York State Education Department (NYSED), and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The Driver Education course is intended to educate students (age 16 or older) on appropriate driving skills and habits as well as playing a responsible role in the highway transportation/safety system. Course highlights include a minimum of 24 hours classroom instruction and a minimum of 24 hours behind the wheel training and observation. Students who satisfactorily complete the course are eligible to sit for their road test and receive the MV-285: Student Certificate of Completion. Students must pass both classroom and in-car instruction with a grade of 65 or higher in order to receive their certificate of completion. The MV-285: Student Certificate of Completion is issued to students who successfully complete the NYSED Driver & Traffic Safety Education (DTSE) course.
