Behind the Wheel Driver Training

What you need to know BEFORE signing up for BEHIND THE WHEEL LESSONS:

• A valid Instruction Permit is required as well as the needed accommodations for any restrictions (glasses, contacts..)
• Face masks are optional. We are happy to mask in the training vehicle if you prefer to be masked.
• All Behind the Wheel Training will begin and end at our office at 115 Codell Drive, Suite 110, Lexington, KY 40509.
• Lessons are limited to 1 session per week in order to allow the student time to practice..
• Students will receive their training in one of our vehicles, which are set up specifically for student driving.
• Due to the need for clear communication, students must be able to speak and understand English.
• For everyone's safety, students may not wear flip-flops, sandals, or sunglasses while behind the wheel.
• The first session will consist of an evaluation in a near-by parking lot to assess if the student can control the vehicle. We will stay in the parking lot and work on turning, lane maintenance and braking until it is deemed that they can safely move to the roadway.
• From session to session, we will deem if it is safe to advance the student to the next level in the curriculum. Most students only require the 6 Hours of lessons; however, some students require repeating all or part of a lesson to safely advance to the next skill set. In this case, more sessions may be needed to complete the curriculum.
• Signing up for a session is a commitment. We require 48 business hours notice to cancel/reschedule your lesson. Late Cancellations will be subject to a $55 fee. No Calls/No Shows will result in a forfeiture of the session.

How long does it take to learn how to drive?

Every student is different, but the overall success will depend on a combination of Behind the Wheel Instruction and practice outside of instruction. The state of Kentucky requires a minimum of 60 hours of drive time for students under the age of 18, prior to testing for their intermediate license. Our 6 Hour curriculum is designed to teach skills which need to be implemented over the course of those 60 hours of practice.
