NORWICH – Every year, dozens of students pile into three separate vans and get their first experiences with navigating the local roads under the guidance of the driver’s education instructors.

The three driver’s ed classes in Norwich received visits recently from several agencies including the local court, Norwich City Police, State Farm Insurance and the New York State Troopers.

The program, designed to educate students ages 16 and over, is currently available throughout the summer school break and has taught hundreds of students the rules of the road.
