What we will teach you in this course

  • Wipers
  • Emergency lights
  • Parking brake/release

Get a feel for the vehicle

  • We will start in the safest, easiest location possible, We will have your teen practice applying gas and brakes, driving straight, turning, and backing up.
  • As we see your teen beginning to master these skills, we make the situation a little more complex. For example, instead of just stopping and starting, we your teen pull into and out of a parking spot.
  • It can take some time to figure out how much pressure to apply to the brakes to stop or how far to move the steering wheel to turn.
  • We will remind your teen driver to pay attention to their surroundings:

  • Look ahead and to the sides.
  • Check mirrors.
  • Scan continuously for hazards.
  • We teach your teen to keep a clear “safety space”
  • We will teach to check around the car so there’s room to react to any hazards. The farther he or she hangs back from the vehicle in front, the better your teen will be able to see what’s ahead. Seeing better and farther provides extra time to react to changing traffic conditions.

Start in low-speed, low-traffic areas

Once your teen is comfortable with the basic operation of the car, take your training to quiet streets where your teen can practice staying on one side of the road, anticipate cars exiting driveways, and learn to pull up to a stop sign.

  • Turns: speed and use of signals
  • Braking smoothly: gradually slowing to a stop
  • Accelerating smoothly: steadily increasing to a safe speed within the posted limit

  • Higher speeds that call for longer stopping distances
  • The need to check blind spots before changing lanes
  • Driving near large trucks
  • Anticipating interchanges by reading signs

When it comes time to take the NJ Road Test, Golden Wheel Driving School is ready to help. Golden Wheel Driving School will accompany the student at the time of the road test and provide a ‘Refresher Course’ review lesson, to ensure you have all the skills needed.

Students who completed the 6 hour program with Golden Wheel Driving School have a scheduled Road Test with DMV. On the permit you will find the scheduled Road Test Date/Time/Location

THIS SERVICE WAS NOT SCHEDULED WITH YOUR INSTRUCTOR AND CAN ONLY BE PROVIDED BY CONTACTING OUR OFFICE IN ADVANCE

The student will be picked up, given a thorough explanation of the Road Test, put behind-the-wheel to practice a simulated test. Wait in the DMV road test line (regardless of the wait time). Take the DMV Road Test in our vehicle. Because of the possible computer issues and often extensive wait time to process a license at the DMV agency, Golden Wheel Driving School is unable to assist with the processing of the license. The student can be taken to the processing line and will then have to be picked up, or the student can be taken back home and go to any DMV Agency and process at a later time.

Please contact our office in advance at (201) 797-5858 for our rate in your area.
