Advanced Teen Driving Course $750
[Can be split into 2 payments. Includes required online classroom course. ]
This is for students 15 or 16 and have not taken a driver education course. It includes the Idaho Online Driver Education online classroom course (required) The driving portion is $700 if you use a different online classroom course besides Idaho Online Driver Education (IODE). Students literally drive twice as much as any other school. Students must be at least 15.
​
Description of Course
This is the most advanced and comprehensive driving course in all of Idaho. Students are learning in the vehicle a minimum of 21 hours with at least 11 hours of actual driving. They are introduced to enhanced defensive driving techniques including advanced scanning techniques, risk assessment & prioritization, lane position reference points, driver psychology, road/highway structure and design, problems with certain laws, the factors involved in collisions, secret techniques not taught anywhere, and many other topics. Students also learn very useful information known only by Class A CDL truckers and motorcyclists.
*Please understand about 10% of students wash out of the program because they do not take UltraSafe's program seriously. Students are given recommendations, tips, and homework to prepare them for driving. Students who do not take the program seriously begin to struggle as soon as the first drive. An example is not knowing the pedals, turns signals, or how to do the push pull steering technique (of which there are videos sent to learn how). This is not an average driver training course.

​
Super Advanced Teen Driving Course $900 includes online course.
​
Same as course above with 2 extra drives...
11th drive on Eagle Rd, then on to Highway 55 to Horseshoe Bend
12th drive to Mountain Home
*Please note we don't have to drive to Horseshoe Bend or Mountain Home. We can drive anywhere you like. We can do extra driving in urban areas, rural areas, city/downtown areas, etc. We can also use the 2 extra drives as extra practice drives if they are needed for the student to get their permit. Most students receive their permit on the 10th drive.
​
Overview of the Entire Driver Training Process
​
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. This includes the online or in-person classroom portion. 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 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.
​2. After going to the DMV, there are 2 options.
Option A - Start the online classroom course first and schedule the driving later.
You must take the online classroom portion as well as the driving portion. Students must be finished with the online course before they can drive. You can start the online course before signing up for the driving portion ($50). This is a good option if your not sure which driving school you will go with. Most driving schools will honor the IODE online course if you choose to go a different route.
Click on the link below to sign up for Idaho Online Driver Education (IODE).
You can also schedule the driving portion at any time after your student has started the online course. Simply follow the steps "How to Schedule the Drives and Pay" below.
Online Only Signup Link or 208-880-3311...simply text "I'm interested in signing up for the
online class only".

​​
OR...
​
Option B - Schedule the drives now and then start the online course as soon as possible after that. The online class must be finished before we can start the driving portion.
Next, we will schedule a required 1 hour Meet & Greet at a coffee shop. The coffee shop meetup is great for students to get to know me and reduce anxiety on the first drive. Students must come to the meeting.
Option B is a good choice if you definitively want to use Ultra Safe and have a fairly open schedule to complete the driving portion.
​​
Drive Lengths, Locations, and Days of the Week
​
​​Drive Lengths
Drives are 2 hours to 3 hours. The last drive, Drive 10, includes a parent observation portion and is a total of 3.5 hours. Please let us know if you'd like to schedule friends or siblings together.
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.

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 reserved for make-up drives and adult/teen practice drives. Driving late at night is actually quite nice because there is far less traffic.
​How to Schedule the Drives and Pay
​
​​Step 1. Make sure the drive lengths, locations, and days & times work for you. Please review "Drive Lengths, Locations, and Days of the Week" below. Masks are required and there are 10 drives. The last drive has a mandatory 1 hour parent observation part (the last drive is 3 hours total). We can do home pick-up but there is a transportation fee. The fee amount is based on time driving to your residence, time driving to the location, time driving back to your residence, and time driving from your residence. Some parents do home pick-up but can meet at the drive locations when the lesson ends. If your student is in sports - please postpone scheduling till after they are finished with their season.
​Step 2. Click on the scheduling link below. Don't forget you must go to the DMV to get the permit before starting the online classroom or the driving portions of the course. Ultrasafe requires students to be at least 15.
Paying... After the driving schedule is confirmed we will email a PayPal invoice (bill). This is the only way to pay for the drives. The email contains important information including the policies and refund information.
Afterwards, we will then schedule a Meet & Greet via text. These meetings are optional but they do help students (or parents) who are nervous and want to learn more about the instructor or the program. Meet & Greets are 60 minutes at a local coffee shop.
