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. Because of the small size of each class, 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 will 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 area.)

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 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.)
