How Behind The Wheel Works
Behind The Wheel consist of 7 lessons. Each lesson is 50 minutes of driving and 50 minutes of observing another student drive. That is two 50 minute periods each time they go out totaling 14 periods. Upon successful completion of the seventh lesson we will issue the Driver’s License. This License is good for a period of 6 months from the eligibility date. Within a 90 day period of us issuing the students license, they should receive a court date. At this court date they will turn in the license we gave them and the Learner's Permit. The judge will tell them the responsibilities of have a Driver's License. Then he/she will give them the hard copy license.
