The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) drivers use some very large snow plows to keep the highways free of snow. Come explore these giant rigs as they wait in the garage for next big snow! Meet at the MNDOT/DVS visitor door, 1000 Hwy 10 W. Detroit Lakes. Guests can park in the south lot across from America's Best Value Inn & Suites. Current MNDOT COVID reduction requirements will be sent to registrants closer to the date. If plows need to be out on the roads during time of class, watch for a reschedule date.

Cars have changed and so have the traffic rules, driving conditions, and the roads you travel every day. Some drivers, age 55-plus, have never looked back since they got their first driver’s license, but even the most experienced benefit from brushing up on their driving skills. You can expect to learn current rules of the road, defensive driving techniques, and how to operate your vehicle more safely in today’s increasingly challenging driving environment. You’ll learn adjustments to accommodate common age-related changes in vision, hearing, and reaction time. This course meets the requirements for a discount from your insurance company. COURSE REQUIREMENT UPDATE: As of July 1, 2024, the 8-hour initial course for the 55 + Alive program in Minnesota has been reduced to a 4-hour course. The eight-hour course is no longer required for first-time participants. The class is held at the Laker Transition Building located at 1104 West River Road. Laker Transition is located just west of West River Dental off Highway 34 (please see map below). Please enter the main doors located on the south side of the building. Thank you for participating in Community Education, and please let me know if you have any questions!

It is recommended students wait until they are 15 years old to take driver education. You must be at least 14½ before the start of class to register. When registering for drivers education, please DO NOT use your student's email. We must have the parent/guardian email attached to the registration.

Blue cards will not be given to students until classes are made up. Behind-the-wheel training is typically scheduled 6-8 weeks before a student plans to take their driving test. BTW training is scheduled directly with the instructors to fit student and instructor schedules. Students who do not show up for a scheduled BTW appointment will be charged $60. Cancellations must be made at least 12 hours before the scheduled driving time or you may be charged an additional $30. Below is a copy of the parent/student agreement for your reference. Driver Education Parent/Student Program Agreement 30 hours of classroom attendance is mandated by state law. If you feel you will not be able to attend all classes in this session, please let our office know and we will schedule you for a future session. Community Education reserves the right to charge $30 per hour for make-up of missed classroom time. Students who withdraw from the classroom session after class has started will forfeit $75 of their tuition. Once students have completed the classroom time, including attendance to all hours and coursework, they will receive a certificate of classroom enrollment (“blue card”) and be eligible to take a learner’s permit test. Students are eligible to take their driving test at age 16, after holding their learner’s permit for at least 6 months, completing a supervised driving log, and completing 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training. Additional charges possible for the following situations: $5 charge for a replacement “blue card” or “white card.” If a student has an outstanding balance for any of these charges, the Certificate of Completion (“white card”) will be held until all payments are made. Program Agreement Discipline Policy We expect all students to be courteous and respectful of others and to maintain a positive attitude towards self, teachers and fellow classmates. Consequences for being disruptive and disrespectful are as follows: 1st Offense: Verbal warning from the instructor 2nd Offense: Student’s parent will be contacted (via text message) and parent must respond 3rd Offense: Student will be dropped from the class permanently *All cell phones MUST be out of sight during class. If not, student will be asked to bring it to the front to place in drawer/basket. It will be returned to the student at the end of class. Need a Blue Card? Purchasing a blue card applies only to those families who did not register and pay for the classroom training directly through Detroit Lakes Community Education. If your child completed the 30 hours driving training in another community or an approved online organization, families can complete the behind-the-wheel with us. We know that option doesn’t work for everyone. If your family wishes to receive the behind-the-wheel locally with us, you can purchase a blue card. A copy of the Letter of Completion needs be sent to our office indicating the training has successfully been completed. (Again, if you registered and paid for the online course or in-person class through the Detroit Lakes website, you do not need to purchase a blue card. Purchasing a blue card applies only to those families who did not register and pay for the classroom training directly through Detroit Lakes Community Education).
