Standard Lesson:

The standard driving lessons are two hours long, and students may take only one lesson within 24 hours. These lessons aim to help build confidence behind the wheel while also prepare students for the test. The lessons are tailored to each student’s needs and ability. At the end of each lesson, the instructor will give the student a written evaluation of things the student executed well and things that need improvement as well as recommend or not recommend the student for the test. Each student who takes a lesson is entitled to a road test and a retest at no extra cost if the student fails the first attempt. If the instructor recommends the student for the test, the test will be taken immediately after the lesson. If the student is not recommended for the test, the student should consider further practice before returning to test at a later date. No number of lessons will guarantee a student to pass the road test, but our objective is to help every student meet their goal of obtaining a license. Driving lessons are recommended for students who do not yet possess the skills, knowledge, or confidence to operate a motor vehicle safely.

Road Test:

The road test is the same skills test administered by the DMV. Applicants are evaluated on their ability to control the vehicle and obey traffic laws and signs. Additionally, applicants are required to conduct five maneuvers:

• Straight-In Parking

• Parking on a Hill

• Quick Stop

• Backing

• Turnabout (3-Point Turn)

Test results are electronically submitted to the DMV immediately after the exam. If an applicant fails a test, he or she must wait at least 24 hours before the next attempt.
