Behind the Wheel
Driving test preparation

We don’t just teach you how to pass the test.

Their words. Eleven topics from parallel parking to freeway driving. Press one manoeuvre and watch the route.

Press a manoeuvre

Parallel Park

Pull level with the car in front of the space and sit about a metre off it. Reverse on full lock until you are round 45 degrees, straighten, then opposite lock brings the tail in and the car comes out parallel. The examiner is marking your mirror and blind-spot checks at least as closely as the car.

  1. Pull alongside the car in front of the space.
  2. Reverse on full lock to 46°.
  3. Opposite lock swings the tail in.
  4. Straighten up and centre in the space.

Every instructor here has driven the examiner routes in Sacramento County more times than they can count.

What they say afterwards.

“Being an adult learning for the first time, I thought that it would be hard to learn how to drive for my age. My instructor was so patient with me and taught me a lot. He doesn’t yell or scream like my husband when he tries to teach me.”

Mary W.

“My instructor taught me so much about the safe driving practice. He explains a lot of useful stuff to look out for when driving.”

Steven L.

“She was so helpful. Gave me a lot of tips and prepared me for the driving test. I took the rental car service for the driving test too. Everything was quick and smooth.”
