- Our training is conducted in 4 one hour sessions over the course of 2 to 4 weeks depending on scheduling.
Day One: ground school.
- A short classroom presentation will be provided as a benchmark to assess the needs of the student. The young driver is trained on defensive driving techniques, how to set up the vehicle for operation, (mirrors, seating position, steering wheel control and seatbelts). Followed by an orientation of how to check fluid levels and change a flat tire, how to deal with a roadside emergency, where to stop for safety in an emergency.
Day Two: Operation orientation.
- The young driver will learn techniques on how to avoid crashes by using a time and distance philosophy. Two philosophies will be discussed. Both have important methods of avoiding crashes. This will be performed in the students vehicle in a parking lot then on the road. Coaching on defensive driving occurs throughout the drive.
Day Three: Drive to Survive
- This session will review techniques acquired in the last session and only needed coaching will occur. This session will also be performed in the students vehicle.
Day Four: Demonstrate what has been learned
- Evaluation day. The last session will begin with a short written exam. Then young driver will demonstrate their ability to operate the vehicle for a score.
- The student will be given a roadside emergency kit for completing the course.
- Parents are strongly encouraged to attend any or all sessions.
