New California Laws for 2013

A new year brings new traffic laws to California. Several new laws took effect on Jan. 1, 2013. As a provider of traffic violator school (TVS) instruction, you should familiarize yourself with these changes so you can provide proper education and assistance to your students.

Internet Curriculum Update

As your curriculum provider, Traffic Safety Consultants, Inc., (TSC) has already updated the Internet-based curriculum, and your students are using it now. You need to do nothing further.

Booklet Curriculum Update

Those of you who are offering the home study booklet must ensure that you are providing students with updated curriculum materials. Download from the CA Course Provider Administration website the latest final exam forms and answer keys, available now, and begin using those immediately.

The copyright notice is at the
bottom of the Table of Contents page.

The next order of books that you receive from TSC will be the latest edition. You may continue to use "old" booklets from your inventory. However, if the bottom of the Table of Contents page of a book that you are sending to a student does not have a 2013 copyright (see example picture), you must include a "new laws insert" (available for download from the CA Course Provider Administration website) in the packet.

Make sure that you ship the latest home study booklets (or inserts) and testing materials, as you will be responsible for teaching/testing students on this new material!

New Year, Hot Product

We at Traffic Safety Consultants, Inc., would like to remind you about our great new product, Teach Your Teen to Drive…and stay alive. This parent-teen driving guidebook covers the supervised driving requirements in all 50 states (for up to 60 hours of behind-the-wheel practice). It's the perfect teaching tool for parents, and helps to eliminate the stress and anxiety associated with training a new teen driver. And it makes a great gift idea for family members and friends who have teenagers. This is a highly recommended product—especially for all driver training schools and traffic schools that offer classes to first-time drivers.

We have sold hundred of copies of Teach Your Teen since the product was introduced in the middle of last year, and the book has been ranked as high as #2 for its category on Amazon.com (click here to preview the book on Amazon)!

We have pricing with quantities of 10 books for as little as $6 per book (plus a shipping charge of $5), and you can resell them to your students for $15 – $20. Simply add a link for this great product to your website and sell a library's worth. (Remember: By DMV regulation, California affiliates cannot sell any other product prior to presenting the TVS course on their websites.) It also makes a perfect complement to a driver education program; you could offer the book to parents after their child's second driving lesson.

If you're interested in offering Teach Your Teen to Drive…and stay alive to your students, or via a link on your website, please contact our Director of Affiliate Operations, Gloria Verver, (via email or by calling 800 . 252 . 9488)!
