No  such  driver  education  course may be approved unless   classroom training is  provided  by  a  person  approved  by  the  state   education  department  and  the commissioner. However, a school district   may contract with one or  more  licensed  drivers'  schools  to  provide   behind  the  wheel  training, pursuant to regulations promulgated by the   commissioner. The commissioner  shall  prescribe  the  requirements  for   licensing  of such minors. A student enrolled in such an approved driver   education course may operate a motor vehicle without holding a  driver's   license  or  a learner's permit while under the immediate supervision of   an instructor in such course or a driver's school  instructor  providing   behind  the  wheel training in such a course, provided such operation is   in accordance with the rules  established  by  the  commissioner.  Every   student  who  successfully  completes  such  course in a day, evening or   summer school program offered  by  a  public  or  private  school  shall   receive  certification of such completion on a certificate prescribed by   the commissioner.2. Failure to exhibit license. Failure by  a  licensee  to  exhibit  a   license  valid for operation under this chapter to any magistrate, motor   vehicle license examiner, motor  vehicle  investigator,  peace  officer,   acting  pursuant  to  his  special  duties,  or  police officer shall be   presumptive evidence that he is not duly licensed.4. Entry into military service. If  any  person  who  enters  military   service  shall fail to give timely notification in writing of such entry   to the commissioner, the commissioner may, in his discretion, refuse  to   renew  such  person's driver's license, if such license is not otherwise   renewable under the provisions of this article.5. Road tests.  A  motor  vehicle  license  examiner  or  other  agent   designated  by the commissioner, while engaged in conducting a road test   is not deemed to be a supervising or an accompanying driver in  relation   to the applicant being tested.
