The State of California requires that a student under the age of 18 receive a minimum of 6 hours of Behind-the-Wheel training from a DMV-licensed Driving School. These lessons are normally provided in 2-hour increments.  

We include basic fundamentals of driving:

• Techniques for turning
• backing,
• lane changes
• residential and city intersections
• managing traffic
• parallel and hill parking
• u-turns
• developing safe vision habits
• space management skills.

Over our 25 years, we have developed our own step-by-step techniques and memory patterns to make safe driving a natural habit.

Beyond the basics, we also help new drivers to:

• develop defensive driving skills,
• freeway vision techniques and strategies,
• smooth steering on winding roads,
• stable speed in heavy traffic, and
• a fuel-efficient driving style
• quick safety inspection of a vehicle.

Parents are welcome to ride along!

(Since our students expect us to arrive at the designated location on time, all of our appointments involve a call to our office after your purchase. Our staff can consider where the instructor will be before and after your desired time so that they can coordinate our 300 lessons each month to maintain our high level of customer service.)
