Behind-the-Wheel Lessons

We will provide three, two-hour behind-the-wheel lessons (6 hours total) for teens.  When the student is ready to schedule lessons, they will login to their account, enter their permit number, and select their drive times. Research has shown that the sequence and timing of lessons described below can produce a confident and competent driver.  With that being said, we also understand that each student can be different in how they learn. That is why we are committed to developing a learning environment that is flexible to each student and abides by our high safety principles.

  1. Schedule the first lesson once the student has receiving the hard-card photo permit and has 5-10 hours of practice driving with parents.  The above is just a recommendation, if parent/student want their first driving with us, we have no problem working with them. We have courses set up that are more traffic friendly so we are able to work on the basics of driving. Each student will handle driving differently and we understand that.
  2. Schedule the second lesson at least four weeks after the first lesson and after an additional 15 hours of practice driving. This is our freeway and downtown lesson, and should not be scheduled during rush hour.
  3. Schedule the third lesson either 4 weeks or more after the second lesson or a few weeks before the road test, depending on your preference. This lesson teaches parking maneuvers and prepares the student for the test.

The three lessons should be completed within a year of completing classes or by the student's 16th birthday, whichever is later. Many times, there will be back-to-back lessons. Students will be picked up and dropped off at Breck School or FAST Fitness in Minnetonka or if possible an arrangement can be made if student lives in the West Metro area.

Lesson #1: Basic Vehicle Operation

  • Control is emphasized when starting, stopping, right and left turns, following distance, and good observation techniques.
  • The student must demonstrate a knowledge of all vehicle controls and warning lights. 
  • We will practice merging vs yielding, SMOG and Gap-Gauge-Go.
  • Driving in a close quarter city/town driving while sharing road with pedestrians, bicycles and other vehicles.

Lesson #2: Lane Changes and Intersections

  • Practice lane changes and exiting and entering entrance ramps on different types of  interchanges.
  • Perform turns with multiple turn lanes and onto multiple-lane one-way and two-way streets.
  • Paying attentinon to crosswalks, pedestrians, and right on red turns.
  • Practicing lane control and integrity and remembering that a unmarkded lane can still be considered a lane if it is the width of a vehicle.

Lesson #3: Parking and Review

  • Parking causes the most anxiety with students, so I do not spend a lot of time parking. I will give the student the correct tools to become proficient at parallel and 90-degree back parking. Students will also learn the right way to hill park.  
  • Students will receive their White Card, which is the BTW course completion card. The White Card must be presented at the road test.
