Basic Driving Tactics

Can you operate 3,000 pounds of heavy machinery powered by continuous explosions? You must be able to, if you want to drive a car.

Highlighting mental as well as physical preparation, the program covers starting up, accelerating, braking, shifting, steering, turning, and all the steps that go into safely handling a vehicle. Students will also learn the fundamental rules of the road, including how to read signs, signals, and surface markings. A viewable/printable instructor’s guide is available online.
