Behind
The Wheel
The State
of Minnesota requires 6 hours of in-car training
in order to be eligible for a provisional license.
Our program puts the student at the wheel and
focuses on risk identification and management,
development of defensive driving skills, and turning
teens into respectful road users.
Lessons will begin and end at a school district
campus or Training Wheels campus. In addition
to 6 hours of instruction, each student will receive
an In-Car Instruction Manual©, a written evaluation
after each lesson, and a driving experience log.
Well-trained, patient instructors conduct the
driving sessions. In fact, we have over 100 years
of traffic safety education experience on our
staff.
Each two-hour session introduces a new driving
environment and skill set using sound education
principles. Our vehicles are late model driver
training vehicles equipped with dual brakes and
instructor rear view mirrors and meet all safety
requirements. We strive to encourage: 1) a young
driver's ability to make healthy choices, and
2) structured parental involvement for new drivers
as key ingredients to reducing the serious risk
of crash during the first 1000 miles of driving
a new driver drives. That is why we encourage
the use of our tools such as the In-car Instruction
Manual and Student Driving Experience Log. These
are unique to TWDE. Parents are required by the
State of MN to provide at least 30 hours of supervised
practice driving hours, 10 of these must occur
during darkness.
The "nuts and bolts" of Training Wheels
Driver Education are also different from other
schools. We have a fully staffed, professional
administrative office and administrative procedures.
Our program coordinator is available during normal
business hours to help, answer questions, and
to help you structure practice time better. Our
computer systems are professionally maintained
and backed up and we and we offer online scheduling
for your behind the wheel lessons. We are organized
and available, which means we provide excellent
customer service.
Training Wheels Driver Education complies with
all State bonding and insurance requirements.
