Teen In-car lesson Plan:


  • Persons under 18 are required to take eight hours or 4 lessons, 2 hrs each.


  • The lessons go in series from 1 to 4. 


  • 1) The Basics:  First the instructor will familiarize you with the controls on the car, and how to adjust the seatbelt, mirrors, and learn about the blindspots.  Starting from a parking lot you will learn the basics of starting, stopping, turning and signaling.  Students usually do some on-the-road driving in light traffic for the second part of the lesson.


  • 2)  In lesson 2 we will build on the previous lesson.  Students begin by backing out of their driveway.  We will have them driving in light traffic for awhile making left and right turns-- some stop turns and some non-stop turns.  During this lesson we usually cover lane changes, where to stop the car at lights, stop signs, how to handle intersections, lane positions and movement between lanes, and what a "Stale Green" light is.  Students will also practice the maneuverability portion of the driving test. 


  • 3) Lesson 3 takes us into heavier traffic and more challenges such as yeilding for a left turn at a traffic light and turning at streets with several turn lanes.  We will practice maneuverability and parallel parking.


  • 4) Wrap-Up:  Students get a simulated road test and maneurverability test.  We will practice various types of parking and turning around.  If we can find any, students practice driving on one-way streets.  We also cover getting on and off the highway as well as freeway driving.

    Are two hours in length.  However, we can be flexible as to the length in certain cases.  The number of lessons required varies greatly depending on factors such as speed of learning, retention and a student's ability to secure additional practice outside of the lessons.  Normally we will try to give an estimate of the number of lessons recommended after the first lesson.  However, there is no obligation on the part of the student to complete any certain number of lessons.
