Behind the Wheel
Behind-the-Wheel Training
Two-hour lessons for teens and adults with a DMV safety certified instructor, free pick-up and drop-off included.
Lessons run two hours at a time with a DMV safety certified instructor, in a modern car with passenger-side brakes. Pick-up and drop-off in Santa Barbara and Goleta are free.
The training is structured around what the test actually asks for — city driving, freeway driving, and the exam protocol itself — so that the day of the test is not the first time the format has been explained.
- Two hours behind the wheel
- DMV safety certified instructor
