Monthly Classes
Gives students the option to take driver education Segment 1 at least 6 months prior to their 16th birthday. This allows the student ample practice time and the opportunity to obtain their license on their 16th birthday.

Scheduling Drive & Range Times
Behind the wheel drive times and range driving will be scheduled with the instructor on the first day of class. These times are flexible and scheduled at your convenience. Transportation to and from the starting/ending point of the drive or range will not be provided.

Range / Backing Skills Program
E-Z Way's Range / Backing Skills Program allows students to develop better parking and backing skills as well as learn troubleshooting techniques. Our cone course includes parallel, perpendicular, diagonal parking and many more essential skills. Day 2 lessons concentrate on backing and turning around.

Range driving also gives students the opportunity to become confident with cone parking and helps prepare students for the Michigan Department of State Basic Control Skills Test (parking lot) and Road Test.

Range is scheduled on 2 consecutive days. Students must sign up for the same 2-hour time slot for each day. Range Driving is included in the cost for Segment 1.

Adult Behind The Wheel Objectives (pdf)

Our Adult program is designed to help adults 18 years and up obtain a Michigan Driving License. This program specifically concentrates on the steps required for adults to pass their Temporary Instructional Permit (TIP) written exam and to pass their Road Test.

To begin with, the students would participate in four classes which would help prepare them for the written exam that will have to be taken. This test includes 40 multiple choice questions, as well as to identify 10 road signs.

After receiving a TIP, the student would then drive three different times with one of our certified instructors, in addition to driving twice on our Range (backing and parking skills portion which is done at one of our school locations). After completing the drives, the students would then come back into our classroom setting to discuss and prepare for the Road Test.
