6 Hour Behind The Wheel

This program is designed to go beyond driver's education and is above all other behind-the-wheel programs out there. It explains the importance of multi-tasking as well as teaches how to drive with control. It provides an understanding of "the dynamics of a vehicle" and "how that plays a role in control". The program gives hands-on experience and tools, for the student, to become a safer, smarter driver. We customize our lessons based on our student’s needs.

Learning Objectives:

 

Getting Started - Sitting properly. 

Hands: Where Should They Be and Why! Seatbelts, Airbags & Horn: What Every Driver Needs To Know! 

Mirrors: What To See and Why! 

Steering: Where You Should Aim! Scanning & Tracking: "LOOK OUT"! Where You Should Be Looking! 

Brakes & Accelerator: How To Employ Them! 

Cornering & Turning: Avoid over/understeering. 

Intersections: How to properly approach, clear and navigate through. Right-Of-Ways: You go. No. You go. Highway Driving: On-Off & Passing. Road-Test Requirements: Properly preparing for the test.

Also included: 1st level rear-end crash avoidance, how to handle blind/impaired intersections to avoid "T-boning" accidents, Parking and more depending on student's needs.

Where other schools say you can’t WE say yes you can!

Autism Spectrum & Other Abilities Specialized Program

We have a special program that is completely customized for each student.  We customize lessons to the students needs so they can learn and can easily develop the skills they need to be a safe driver. We have a very high success rate because we care. 

Anti-Anxiety Driving

We will instruct you on what steps can be taken to address your situation. 

​Driving phobia and anxiety is one of the most common. It can be debilitating, especially for people who need to drive for a living, to get to work by car or in general enjoy the independence driving affords.

​

A phobia is a disorder in which the body reacts in what is called “flight or fight” - either to fight for our lives or to run for them. We experience the same feelings of anxiety and fear, but in situations where there’s absolutely no need for “flight or fight”. It’s as if our body and mind have lost all sense of proportion, and internally screams “DANGER” at the littlest thing happening. The fear reaction is every bit as real as if the cause was really life-threatening. 

You feel uncomfortable and anxious when you drive because your brain has tricked you into feeling anxious. It may be helpful to understand what the cause is, but it’s not necessary to the fix. You can’t cure it. We will show you how to manage it.

Au Pairs

This program's design is to identify the student's current skill level for the U.S. driving environment as well as explain and show the details of defensive driving techniques.

During the training, you will receive instruction on:

           * Cushion-of-Safety. 

           * Cornering. 

           * Proper Situational Tracking

           * Scanning Awareness. 

This will help you reduce your chances of getting traffic violations or being involved in an accident by learning to drive more skillfully, more safely and defensively.  

International Driving

Driving in the United States after coming from another country can be challenging at best. You may not be accustomed to driving on the right, with the steering wheel on the left. Not only do you need to drive on the right, but also get used to controlling and operating the car with opposite hands (The foot pedals however remain the same as with right-hand drive cars) Around 66% of the world's people live in a country where they drive on the right with only 34% driving on the left.

The program is designed for drivers from outside the United States who want to learn how to drive on America's streets and highways. You may face a variety of driving and traffic situations and weather conditions you have never experienced before. This programs aim is to explain and show the details of defensive driving techniques and improve certain driving skills and understanding of US rules of the road vs. abroad. You will learn key elements to be aware of when driving in N.J. and be provided advice to help ensure your driving is as safe as possible for not only yourself, but other road users.

Adult Refresher

Senior Citizen Driving

Senior Citizen Driving

 This is a great class to re-evaluate your driving skills.  Most of our students are amazed at what they learn in this class. We will enhance your skills & knowledge about the complexity of driving and the risks associated without creating overconfidence in new-found abilities. Great class for new drivers who are out of practice and for experienced drivers who just want to improve in a particular area.

Night Driving

Night driving involves more concentration, visual awareness and the ability to identify different hazards and make adjustments earlier than in daylight situations.  Road authorities agree that night driving presents unique challenges, increased risks and numerous deaths and injuries.

 This program is aimed at either the newer drivers that are ready to test their skill within a visually challenged environment or those individuals who are uncomfortable driving at night.  The distance a driver can see is shortened and so hazards can often seem to appear out of nowhere. It also takes time for the eyes to adjust to the darkness after being in a lit building or after driving on a well-lit road.
