Behind the Wheel Driving Practices
Practice at home is imperative. By law, parents are to give their
child 20 hours of practice. Two of those hours are to be in the dark.
Areas WE practice are as follows; residential, thru streets ( JFK,
University, Asbury, Pennsylvania, etc.), highways ( 61 north and south,
52 north and south, 151 north and south, 20 east and west ), downtown
driving, angle parking, parallel parking, destination drives,
Northwest arterial, and other places if time permits.
