Steps of the UltraSafe Driver Training Program

​​​

1.  Go to the DMV as soon as possible to get the permit. 

 

You must go to the DMV to do driver training in any driver training school.   You must go to the DMV to do any part, classroom or driving portion of driver training.  Ultrasafe requires students to be at least 15 to drive, but 14.5 year old students can start on the online portion.  

 

Tell the DMV people you will use Ultra Safe Advanced Driver Training ("Ultra Safe").  Go to the DMV Page for more information on what to take with you.  If you are not sure what driving school you will choose - tell the DMV your school district.  If you are home schooled - tell them your school district.  It doesn't matter where the permit will be sent.  Driving schools mail permits to each other all the time. 

Driving schools do not know when you have gone to the DMV - it is your responsibility to contact the driver school of your choice after going to the DMV.

 

​2.  After going to the DMV...   

     

After going to the DMV please text us "We are ready to start the online classroom course" to 208-880-3311 and we'll reply.

We will email a PayPal invoice for $75.  Once paid you will receive an email invitation from the online classroom teacher.  Idaho Online Driver Education (IODE) is an approved Idaho online classroom course.  Students must be finished with the online course before they can drive.  Most driving schools will honor the IODE online course if you choose to go a different route.  

  

3.  When you are finished with the online class...

​

We will email a link to the Schedule Preference Form.  You will fill it out and we will create a 10-Drive Schedule.  Please take your time with the form - it has important information in it.  When the driving schedule is confirmed we will email a PayPal invoice for $600.  Driving lengths, locations, and days of driving are listed below.   

​

4.  After creating a schedule...

​

Next, we will schedule a 30-60 minute Meet & Greet at a coffee shop, restaurant, or your residence.  This is optional - if your student is excited and full of confidence then maybe we don't need to meet up.  But most students are apprehensive and nervous.  The coffee shop meetup is great for students to get to know me (the instructor) and reduce anxiety on the first drive.  We will also introduce the student to the new 2025 Toyota Camry drivers ed vehicle.  Students must come to the meeting. 

​

5.  We complete the drives and are finished!!

Drive Lengths, Locations, and Days of the Week

​

​​Drive Lengths

Drives are 2.5 hours to 3 hours each.  The last drive, Drive 10, includes a parent observation portion and is a total of 3.5 hours.        

 

Drive Locations

Ultra Safe does not start at random locations and then drift around like most driving schools - each drive is specifically planned to challenge the student with new driving scenarios.  Also driving the same routes helps make the drives much safer.  Some of the routes overlap so the student can see how much they've improved.

The locations below may be arranged differently based on the student's abilities and progress.  

 

​

​​      Drive 1.... Old Idaho Transportation Department on State St and Whitewater Park Blvd across from the Jack in the Box.                                This is the old location.  Meet in the large back parking lot.  This is the parking lot drive.  See picture below.

​

      Drive 8...Chuckarama Buffet (Freeway Drive)

​

      Drive 9...Chuckarama Buffet or other agreed upon location                                       

​

      Drive 10...Location:  Chuckarama Buffet

                                         Includes a parent observation portion.  For solo students the last drive is 3 hrs.  For paired 

                                         students the last drive is 5 hrs.  Paired students can do the last drive on separate days.

                                         Students cannot get their permit until the parent drive is completed.

 

What are the usual driving days and times Ultra Safe teaches?

We normally drive Monday thru Friday starting at 10am and ending at 11:00pm.  Saturdays are usually reserved for make-up drives and adult/teen practice drives - but occasionally we drive with teens.  Driving late at night is actually quite nice because there's far less traffic.
