We were at Legoland this week and my children wanted to ride the electric cars. Before a child was allowed in the car, their picture was taken for a “Driver’s License”. Upon receiving this Driver’s License (which was nothing more than a business card with some blanks), my youngest son’s entire demeanor changed. He felt responsible and trusted. He wanted to make sure he obeyed each and every rule because he had been entrusted with this license. This small card was the highlight of his day and really boosted his ego.
You never know what is going to click with children. This license did, so I decided to use it for my benefit. I created a “Driver’s License Safety Test”. 
If a child passes, they will be rewarded a “Driver’s License for bikes and scooters“. It’s proof that they know the safety rules of riding a bike/ scooter. They understand the license can be revoked if a rule is not followed. To have your very own Driver’s License can be a rite of passage, a step up in responsibility which develops confidence.
It is a great tool if a child is receiving a new bike or scooter. The license can represent the responsibility that comes with it. It is exciting. The expectations are clear. Happy Riding!

This is great! One question though…. did the boy’s license on top part got cut?
I glued the license to blue cardstock before I laminated it. Just liked the pop of color.
Thank you so much! I absolutely love this idea! Pinned it and linked to it in my weekly newsletter!
So clever, we’re big fans of safety over here! We’ll be sharing this idea with parents on our Facebook page tomorrow.
I will be doing this for our Scout rodeo
So fun!
I think its a great idea
A proud moment for my students. I set up a simulated DBD (Department of Bicycle Division) booth to take head shot and to print license.
That’s a great piece of information. I work with kids bicycle and will try to convey this information on my website. Thanks.
I think this is so cute. I am having a bike birthday party for my 8 year old. I’ve printed the license page four times but it comes out all blurry…I even tried making it much smaller. No luck! The safety test printed perfectly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
