Does a drivers ed video fulfill the state's drivers education requirement?
Probably not.
It seems the only state that explicitly approves of a drivers ed video for fulfilling drivers ed requirements is New Mexico and, even then, it only applies to drivers license applicants between the ages of 18 and 24 who must complete the home-study DWI-awareness program, "None for the Road."
States that require drivers education (and don’t allow applicants to take driver ed online or participate in a parent taught course) generally require a certain number of classroom instruction hours and, in some cases, a certain number of behind-the-wheel and observation hours.
Because it’d be tough (if not impossible) for a drivers ed video to fulfill those requirements, it seems that no state that requires drives ed plainly approves of a video course.
Of course, there are always exceptions along the way.
If your state allows you to take an online drivers education course you might encounter videos as part of your instruction. This is the case with some state-approved online courses in Nevada and Oklahoma, for example. Also, drivers license applicants or licensed drivers who want to brush up on their knowledge can always rent videos for these purposes. The Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives, for example, provides numerous videos related to driver education and training.
