Driver Training Information

The minimum requirement set by the Department of Motor Vehicles for a Driver’s Training (behind-the-wheel) course is six-hours of training. We pick up and drop off our students for most lessons. (Pick up can be at home, school, practice, or any place arranged in advance; please have a working [turned on] cell phone with you if your pick up is not at home).

Driver Training is accomplished in a vehicle with a licensed instructor. Six (6) hours training with licensed instructor in a public or private driving school are required by law. It takes three days, (two hours per day) to complete – practicing between lessons is important! Driver Training can be taken any day of the week with an appointment and the training covers basic driving skills. Once these skills are mastered and the instructor feels the student can do so safely, freeway and parallel parking may be covered. It is up to the instructor to decide if the student is ready without interfering with learning and practicing basic driving skills (feel free to request freeway or parallel parking, and our instructor will make every effort to comply).
