Behind-the-Wheel Training
Three two-hour lessons with a published, lesson-by-lesson plan — you know before you book what each session covers.
The first lesson covers the controls, S.M.O.G. for every turn and lane change, smooth starts and stops at stop signs, hand-over-hand steering, three-point turns, pulling in and out from the kerb, straight-line reversing and light-traffic lane changes. It ends with a review in front of the parent, so practice at home continues in the same direction.
The second builds on it: lane changes, defensive driving in heavier traffic, angle and perpendicular parking, stale greens and the yellow point of no return, right of way at two-way, four-way, T and blind intersections, and freeway driving including the carpool lane.
The third is drive-test preparation — traffic checks, backing, signalling, basic speed laws, smooth starts and stops — and a full practice test run in the way the examiner runs it.
