3 Drive Beginner Package for Teens & Adults.  $225 for 3 drives. 

 

Each drive is 1 to 2 hours.  You will do a maximum of 45 minutes of actual driving and a maximum of 2 hours per lesson.  So if we do 45 minutes of driving and 30 minutes of discussion, the drive will be 1 hr and 15 minutes total.  Usually we will do about 1 hour of discussion.  Discussion includes how to adjust mirrors and a detailed description on how to do specific techniques like pullouts, u-turns, roundabouts, lane changes, etc.    

​

Includes parking lot and possibly* public roads.

  

This is great for adults who have never driven or need more practice; or if your teen needs extra practice after driver education.  The goal for adults who have never driven is to get enough training that they can drive with other licensed drivers in non-driver training vehicles.  We start at specific locations around Boise and Meridian.  If you cannot start at the location we can pick you up at your residence - there might be an additional charge.  When finished with all 3 drives it may be possible to do an additional 3, 6, or 9 drives.  Usually students who have no driving experience need 9 drives to pass the test. 

    *A Note For Beginner Students: 

The goal of the first 3 drives is for students to learn basic steering in a parking lot, then basic steering, acceleration, and braking in a neighborhood, then introduce the student to steering, acceleration, braking, and consistent speed control on light public roads.  With these 3 drives students should be able to safely drive a vehicle with the help of any licensed driver.  But lately students have been struggling with this method.  Usually the instructor makes the decision of when the student is capable of graduating to a neighborhood and then to a public road.  Most students are very capable of graduating to a neighborhood and public road - but they don't want to.  So we are going to drive in the neighborhoods and public roads only when the student wants to.  We will send a video on how to do the push/pull steering technique.  If you practice this steering technique with a plate or frisbee - you should only need 1 drive in a parking lot.  But if you don't practice the technique we will stay in the parking lot until you have the technique mastered.  The push/pull steering technique is the foundation to all steering.  And even if you have the technique mastered - we will stay in the parking if you don't want to progress to the neighborhood.  It should not be necessary to spend over a $1,000 to learn to drive but we will do as many parking lot drives as you want until you feel comfortable leaving it.  With our older method students save money by doing neighborhood and public roads as soon as the instructor feels they are capable - but this has been seen to add lots of stress to many students.  So again, we will stay in the parking lot until you feel comfortable going into a neighborhood.  Remember you are ultimately the customer.  We will teach how you would like to be taught.  But if you trust the instructor and can follow their directions - you will learn much faster and save money.

​10 Drive Rehabilitation Drive for Individuals Who've Had a Traumatic Experience  $500 (10 hours total)

 

It is easy to lose confidence and be hesitant to drive after a collision.  For the first drive you will ride along as a passenger to observe the simple techniques to avoid future collisions and reduce anxiety.  The remainder 9 drives will be 1 hour each where you will drive roughly 30-45 minuets during this time.  Shorter drives are best when you are regaining confidence.  You will learn about space management, good selfish driving, the foundations of defensive driving, how to identify potential risks and reduce risks (solve potential problems), and vehicle safety features.  The defensive driving skills and knowledge that are taught are far beyond anything in any textbook, video, or class.  You will drive on the second drive implementing what you've learned and start to build new, better habits.  Each drive is 1 hour.
