Email our office to make your drive appointments; info@wreck-lessdriving.com ALL APPOINTMENTS ARE MADE VIA EMAIL
We will contact you regarding any weather-related appointment changes.

Experience in different weather conditions with an instructor is a valuable opportunity for our students.
The instructor will make a decision based on your safety if weather conditions arise.

Do not wait until it is time for your road test to schedule your BTW sessions.

We recommend that you spread drives out over a 4-7-month period, based on the time you have your permit and when you are eligible to take the road test.
The final drive should be shortly before your anticipated test date, spread out the first two so all the drives are evenly spaced.
We cannot guarantee to get 3 drives scheduled for you if you begin to schedule less than 4 months before your test.

Consider your drive appointments a priority.

As with other important appointments, drives may be scheduled during school hours.
Plan ahead and know that we cannot guarantee to work around all sports and school schedules.
If a drive is scheduled during school hours, a parent must confirm the appointment with our office and contact the school ahead of time
A drive appointment may be an unexcused absence.

Behind-the-Wheel Standard Operating Procedure is for one student and one instructor to be in the training vehicle during BTW instruction.

Exceptions for: Instructor evaluation or parental request (not student request)

NOTE: We do not make reminder calls for Behind the Wheel drives.
