    Requires the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to coordinate with the Department of Transportation, and study whether to add lane departure to the actual driving portion of the driver education curriculum. Sets out what must be included in the study, including the advisability of adding an element to the driver education curriculum that would allow students participating in the actual driving portion of the course to experience lane departure and learn to avoid overcorrection, and the practicality of teaching students to respond to situations of lane departure during the actual driving portion of the driver education course. Requires that at least one representative from the North Carolina Driver and Traffic Safety Education Association, one instructor employed by a private driving school, and one public school teacher who is certified in driver education be involved in the study. Requires DPI to report its findings and recommendations to the Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee by March 1, 2018.
