BEHIND THE WHEEL INSTRUCTION
The Behind-the-Wheel (BTW) phase is designed to give the practical skills needed to drive a car and to integrate what has been taught in the classroom. It is also where the parents are expected to assist with as much practice as possible. Without this practice at home, the development of a competent roadway user is incomplete. New York State Department of Motor Vehicles requires that each student MUST have a minimum of 24 hours of instruction in the car.
In the car instruction must include a minimum of 6 hours of actual behind the wheel practice and a minimum of 6 hours of in car observation. The remaining 12 hours will be additional behind the wheel and observation time. Students who do not get get the required amount of time in will NOT receive a certification of completion (MV 285).
