TEEN DRIVER ED
We offer both classroom and behind the wheel.
Classroom is a total of 30 hours, 10 sessions-3 hours each, and can be completed in as short as two weeks. Classes are daily, at least 12 times per week year around. We offer a flexible schedule including evenings. Come when it is convenient for you. This includes Saturday mornings during the school year.
Behind the Wheel (in-car) training starts after you have received your permit. Our driving instructor will conveniently pick you up at your home, work, or school for each of your private 3-two hour lessons. Lessons progress from the more simple driving tasks to the most complicated tasks. Areas covered are: general control of the vehicle, driving on side streets, turns, lane changes, parking, freeway driving and downtown driving.
ADULT INSTRUCTION
NO EXPERIENCE?
For covering all the basics of learning to drive, a general rule of thumb is 6 hours or four 90 minute lessons for new drivers. We teach all aspects of driving a vehicle. Areas covered are: general control of the vehicle, driving on side streets, turns, lane changes, parking, freeway driving and downtown driving.
PRIOR EXPERIENCE?
Our instructors listen to what the problems are and concentrate on correcting them as well as improving any other areas you feel need to be addressed. Some common problem areas are: parallel parking, driving on one way streets, freeway entrance and exits. Think of it as a brush up lesson. If a driver has failed the road test they may have just developed some bad habits and those are the things we work on correcting together.
