New Hampshire HB1452 allows parent-taught driver education as an alternative to traditional courses.

New Hampshire HB1452 amends the state's driver education requirements by allowing parents or guardians to provide classroom and behind-the-wheel training as an alternative to traditional courses. The bill modifies RSA 263:19 to permit the commissioner to waive the driver education course requirement if a parent, guardian, or another responsible adult submits proof of equivalent instruction. This change aims to offer flexibility in driver education methods.
