Behind the Wheel

Behind-the-Wheel Training

Two-hour lessons across three separate days, taught to DMV standards, with free pick-up and drop-off wherever you are.

Behind-the-Wheel Training at San Diego Bay Driving School

Every lesson is two hours long, and the six hours the state asks for are taught across three different days rather than crammed into one. Spacing them is the point — skills settle between sessions in a way they do not inside a single afternoon.

You need a valid California permit before the first lesson. We come to you at no charge for pick-up and drop-off, and payment is taken on the first day.

  • Steering control and lane discipline
  • Safe lane changes, blind spots and mirror use
  • Right-of-way rules and hazard recognition
  • Right turns on red, protected and unprotected lefts
  • Reading and responding to road signs
  • Defensive driving technique from the first lesson
