Dear Driver Education Department Head or instructor,
Are you teaching your students how to avoid common car-bicycle crash types? Are they learning details of all the relevant state laws? Too many motorists (and bike riders!) have only superficial knowledge of traffic safety and bicycles. Ride Illinois, a statewide bicycle organization working with IDOT to improve safety of cyclists and motorists on the road, has an easy way to help.
Thanks to IDOT’s Injury Prevention funding, we are awarding driver education programs $250 each (less, if under 40 students per semester) for staff time to start using our free, online plug-and-play BikeSafetyQuiz.com lesson as a 15-30 minute computer assignment. To apply, please complete the questions, below.
Dozens of Illinois driver education programs have used our BikeSafetyQuiz.com website, with very good reviews. The IHSCDEA- and Secretary of State-approved Driver Ed module has 27 multiple-choice questions and interactive responses to teach your students about safe and legal driving around bicycles.
We make it very easy for instructors to assign our quiz website lesson, setting it up for your class(es), giving you simple instructions, and being available if any help is needed.
This application form acts as an agreement to use our quiz for at least three academic years. Apply soon, as we have limited funding available. Selections will be made based on your number of students and on the density of injuries from car-bicycle crashes in your area.
Thanks in advance for helping to close an educational gap and making roads safer.
