The 8 hours of behind the wheel (BTW) training consists of four 2-hour drive sessions. Here the students hone their driving skills and begin to develop and master good technique and habits (with a focus on defensive driving and accident avoidance) that will help prepare them for their driving exam and equip them for a lifetime of safe and responsible driving.

1) BASIC DRIVE

(Left & right turns residential, rural roads, lane changing, maneuverability*)

 

2) CITY DRIVE

(Left & right turns @ major intersections, one way streets, parking techniques, maneuverability*)

 

4) FREEWAY DRIVE

(Entering and exiting (handling merging traffic—approx. 10-12 times), maneuverability*)

 

3) EXAM DRIVE

*Maneuverability will be practiced on each drive session (approx 20-30min. per drive) accumulating 1.5-2 hours of total practice time.
