New Mexico DPS

In response to the increase of identity theft concerns, the New Mexico MVD will implement a new process for issuing drivers' licenses. To help explain this new process, please click here.

This is an AP article we found online (dated 12/07 and written by Matt Mygatt) that helps explain the new process. This is especially useful information for those receiving a first-time license. Please share this information with your students right away.

This link comes directly from MVD, and gives insight into the benefits of having a more secure process.

If you are interested in learning more about this new high-tech process, let us know and we will attempt to have an MVD representative at the June 6 th Recertification class, to answer any questions you may have.

Yours,

Yolanda Rodriguez

Good Housekeeping

The March 2003 edition of Good Housekeeping magazine featured an assessment of the traditional driver education and training model taught by schools since 1949. The final grade? A solid F. Good Housekeeping criticized High School and commercial driver training programs for not coordinating class and driving times and for focusing only on the skills needed to pass a driving test.

But what kind of driver education does get Good Housekeeping's approval? The article suggests that you spread out the learning process over several months and incorporated behind the wheel practice concurrently with class study. Further more, focus on techniques to avoid accidents.

No other driver education course has done a better job of incorporating these two lifesaving concepts than National Driver Training Institute's Help for the Teenager Who Wants to Drive.
