Rachel, Parent in Illinois
As a parent of 4 kids (8,10,12 & 15) having lifetime access is awesome! My 15 year old took it first and my 12 year old is enrolled now. I was impressed to see the updates and accuracy of the materials. The family plan is a wise investment.
Layla, 13 Student in California
I liked that the course wasn't just boring rules. The real-life stories helped me see why safety matters. My little brother even joined my PSA about not riding double on my scooter.
Beckett, 12 Student in Illinois
I got a ticket for not stopping at a red light. AND they impounded my e-bike because it's a class 3. I wish I knew the rules before I lost my birthday money and my bike.
