BEHIND THE WHEEL PROCEDURES
1.) To start the Behind-the-Wheel program the student must start the classroom portion of the course.
2.) The student must be at least 15 ˝ years old.
3.) Complete the 3001 Sponsorship form and be sure to have one of our instructors sign it. (If the student fails to get this signature he or she will not be able to get their permit and will be asked by the DMV to return to the driving school for signing.)
4.) The parent/student must have the 3001 sponsorship form notarized. (This may be done at the DMV or during Parents' Night at our school.
5.) Be sure to bring the signed 3001 form, a certified birth certificate, and one other form of ID when you go to the DMV to take the permit test.
6.) After receiving your instruction permit, you must immediately show your instructor the permit. At this time, the instructor will record your information on a driving log sheet and assign you your first Behind-the-Wheel lesson date. The law says that you must start the Behind-the-Wheel portion of the course within 60 days of the instructor signing the 3001 form. There will be a classroom update fee if the student fails to come to their first assigned driving time within the 60 day limit.
7.) The Behind-the-Wheel driving times are:
8.) Please keep your appointments for Behind-the-Wheel lessons. We need at least a 24 hour notice if a student cannot make the Behind-the-Wheel Appointment.
9.) Do not call in for the road test appointment until the student is on his/her 5th Behind-the-Wheel lesson. Remember, the student must wait 6 months after obtaining his or her permit before taking the road test. The student may make their road test appointment 11 weeks in advance.
10.) There will be classroom make-up on Sat. and Sun. at 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, during monthly classes. Class presentations will be made up at the next month's class only.
Since the Graduated Drivers License Law has gone into effect, many questions have been raised concerning what constitutes “driving practice”. Considering that 30 hours of practice are required and only few of these are done with a driver’s education instructor, the responsibility for fulfilling this requirement normally falls upon the parents. In order to make these hours most productive (and to better prepare your son or daughter to take the road exam) it is important that the practice involves a variety of maneuvers. If the bulk of the driving time is over a long distance on an open highway, this may technically fulfill the 30 hour practice requirement, but may not be adequate to reinforce the more technical skill maneuvers that are part of the DMV skill test. For example, several hours spent driving to Madison and back is good , but it does not help the student reinforce many of the skills needed to become a safe and successful driver. We, along with other drivers education instructors, recommend that the driving practice be varied, with particular stress being placed on the following driving maneuvers:
It is also important that the student practice in an area similar to one in which the road test will be taken. For example, if the family lives in a rural area, but the road test will be taken in a larger city, it is essential that the student gets driving experience in that city or one that is similar in size.
As stated above, we all want our young people to become safe and successful drivers. Proper practice of all driving skills in various settings will further that goad and give the beginning driver a much better chance of passing their skills test on the first try.
Now wouldn’t THAT bring some smiles!
