Commonly Asked Questions

Q: How Do You Compare to Other Programs?

A: We not only offer the benefit of the skills-based Driving Lab, but we also invest a lot of effort to ensure that the classroom portion is an interactive dialogue between the instructor and students.

Rather than reading straight through a textbook, we employ a variety of learning techniques. And if you've checked around, you know other programs in town charge more - sometimes double - what we charge, often for less training. Drive-Right Academy definitely offers the most intensive training for your money.

Q: What exactly is the Skills-Based Driving Lab?

A: It is an invaluable learning clinic for your teen to develop the fundamental skills needed before the On-the Road Lessons. Held in a parking lot in a highly controlled environment, instructors work individually with each student on the following exercises:

• Slalom Course
• Threshold Braking
• Braking While Turning
• Pull-Push Steering
• Emergency Lane Changes
• Successful Backing
• Parallel parking
• Arm-Lock Steering
• Aim High Vision

The Student is to provide their own car for the Driving Lab. (Drive-Right Academy will provide a dual-control vehicle for the Road Lessons. Click here for details on our vehicles.)
