MIAMI (AP) — Some high schools around the country are leaving driver's ed by the side of the road.

In recent years, school systems have been trying to save money by cutting back on driver instruction during the school day. Some are eliminating driver's ed altogether.

That leaves it up to parents to teach their kids themselves or send them to commercial driving schools.

But not all parents can afford private classes or teach their kids to drive. That worries some educators, since motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens.
