driver education courses offered by school districts, county children with disabilities
education boards and technical college districts and to establish minimum standards
for driver education courses offered in private schools. All driver education courses
must acquaint each student with the hazards posed by farm machinery and animals
on highways and provide instruction in safely dealing with such hazards.

the hazards posed by railroad grade crossings and to provide instruction in safely
