"Drivers Training" (Behind the Wheel):

Teenage drivers are required to drive a minimum of 6 hours with a certified driver instructor. (v.c. 12507 [b])

The minimum 6 hours of driving must be certified by the instructor under the penalty of perjury. (Section 350.[b], Chapter 1, Article 4.6, Title 13 Code of Regulations).

This training is conducted in 3 sessions, 2 hours per day, once per week, or every other week. Your experienced instructors will help you practice in detail all the necessary skills to prepare for your driving test, and stress areas of defensive and safe driving techniques for accident prevention. The 12 hour behind the wheel lessons are usually twice per week.

Upon completion of the behind the wheel training, the student will be issued a Driving Training Certificate. Students, 16 years old who, have held the Instruction Permit for 6 months and who have finished 50 hours of supervised driving instruction by a California licensed driver, 25 years or older, may apply for a driver's license. (v.c. 12814.6[b][y])

If you purchase 12 hours of behind-the-wheel training, you are eligible for a free Driver's Education Classroom Course.

 

What skills will be taught behind the wheel?

Notice: A Provisional Permit for teens is not valid until the student starts behind the wheel training with the licensed driving instructor, at which time the instructor will sign it to validate. A 17 1/2 year old student can obtain a provisional permit with behind the wheel training.

Twelve hour behind-the-wheel training offers more detailed practice. This package contains 6 lessons that are 2 hours long.

We also offer TRAFFIC SCHOOL.
