Koby's Behind The Wheel Curriculum(B.T.W. - 6 Hours)
Koby's Driving School L.L.C. strives itself to give each student the optimum driving experience and time within the State mandated six (6) hour requirement. We strive to give more driving time and mileage than other private and public schools. We can also interact with parents via e-mail or telephone on updates of their teen's progress and performance. Here are some of the areas that each student may drive while they are behind the wheel with our driving program.
Drive #1
1.0 - 1.5 hours
Low density residential driving with stop signed intersections. Students will be identifying signs, signals, lane markings, turns, proper stops, reference points, proper braking and accelerating, and turnabouts. (Usually done in the Liliha/Kahala/Manoa/Hawaii Kai/ Lagoon Drive areas.)
Drive #2
1.0 - 1.5 hours
Light to medium density city driving, minor to complex intersections with signs and signals. Aims at developing skills to drive in safe lane position, more turnabouts, lane changing, some highway driving, pulling over to the curb and some parking exercises if time permits. (Usually done in the Kakaako/Kaheka/King St./Beretania St./Airport-Lagoon Drive area.)
Drive #3
1.0 - 1.5 hours
Understanding traffic laws, turnabouts, checking zones for lane changes, some highway driving, negotiating low speed and high speed curves, targeting, and safe following distance. (Usually done at the Pali/Sandy Beach/Hawaii Kai area, or dependent on school location starting point.)
Drive #4
1.0 - 1.5 hours
Understanding freeway driving, freeway entrances, freeway exits, weave lanes, U-turns and round-a-bouts.
(Area of driving may include: H-1,H-2 or H-3 Freeways.)
Various entrances and exits depend on location of drive)
Drive #5
1.0 hours
Parallel, angle, and perpendicular parking. (Usually done in the Dillingham/Kakaako/Kahala area.)

Teenage Curriculum
1. Students must attend and complete all 6 hours of BTW training with a Department of Transportation certified instructor. 2. Students must wear covered rubber-soled shoes with heels no taller than 1" inch, hair to be managed so as not to impair vision or interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle and have their learners permit.
3. BTW (behind the wheel) lessons are non-transferable.
Parent/Guardian Participation
1. Students must complete the state DOT requirement of 40 daylight hours of practice, and 10 night driving hours with a licensed driver over the age of 21. Upon completion, the record needs to be notarized and returned to the BTW instructor to receive the Behind the Wheel certificate.
Evaluation and Grading
Students will be graded on their performance and understanding of the in-class instructions and the safe operation of the motor vehicle.
On occasion a student may experience difficulty understanding a lesson. Sketches & Drawings may be given as notes to better understand. Please have your teen work on these items as practice will show improvements. Following lessons will include similar practices as improvement would be needed to advance to more difficult skills. |
