    Teens Drive Just Like Their Parents - What Kind of Example are You Setting?

    Private driving classes in orange county. Behind the Wheel lessons are where the rubber meets the road (literally). This is where your teen will experience driving in real life situations, putting everything we teach them to use. That said, if you speed, so do they. If you do not make a full stop at a stop sign, neither do they. Its a fact. Set a good example (they watch how you drive and tell us all about it). Keep in mind its illegal to drive/practice until after the first lesson (even with your parents). You need to practice roughly 25 hours between lessons.

    Lesson timelines are as follows: If you are over 18 we can shorten the time frame from the DMV suggested 2-6 months. However, it would still be a minimum of 2 weeks between lessons unless you purchase the accelerated package.

    Remember it is the students/parents responsibility to contact us in a timely manner to schedule lessons. Don't wait till the last minute. If you are planning on just having lessons and not getting significant practice between lessons - you are really setting yourself up to fail the Behind the Wheel test.

    All lessons expire 6 months from the date you sign up. The lessons can be extended for an additional 6 months for $125.00. Lessons expire completely with no reinstatement possible after 12 months.

    4 Wheel disc brakes

    Anti-lock Brake System

    EXPERIENCE MATTERS

    A 20 something whose last job was at Starbucks may not be who you want guiding your teen down the freeway at 60 mph. Therefore, all our instructors are parents. They don’t want to be Facebook friends, or hangout with your student after the lesson.
