Behind The Wheel We pick-up and drop-off students at either school or work who live locally. Appleton, Mackville, Hortonville, Greenville, Medina, Dale. Cities covered include, but not limited to: Menasha Readfield Fremont Neenah Larsen New London Shiocton If you live in the above 6 areas, we may ask that we meet you at a location in Hortonville, Greenville or Medina to do BTW lessons. If you chose the 9 / 0 behind the wheel option and live west of Hortonville or in a remote area we will need to have you meet us at a closer location to the Fox Valley for the lessons. In the event that you live in a location that has a driveway that isn't paved and our vehicle is going to get dirty we will park at the end of your driveway for pick-up & drop offs. Off course if the driveway is not going to get the vehicle dirty we will drive up to the house. We ask that students do not use the scented body mists, heavy scented perfumes or cologne on their behind the wheel lessons. If the scent is too strong it may result in an automatic cancellation of the behind the wheel lesson ($25 fee). Some individuals get headaches or have allergic reactions. It is also important that the student learns to keep their heel on the floor when using the brake. Whenever I mention this in the parent orientation everyone looks at me like I'm crazy. It is not a pleasurable experience when students jump on the brake pedal. Please text / call us at (920) 716-4391 to schedule, change or cancel your behind the wheel lessons. **24 hour advanced notice is required to cancel or change appointments in order to avoid additional fees.** Here is a link to help log hours that the state endorses... www.eregulations.com/driving/Wisconsin/ The student needs to do their 1st btw lesson within 60 days of obtaining their temps. If this does not happen, the student will be asked to relinquish their instructional permit to Trinity. Trinity will then issue another MV3001 form so that the student can go to the DMV and obtain a new instructional permit. The student will then be able to schedule btw lessons with Trinity Driving School. If the student refuses to make appointments upon our request and attempts to wait 55 - 60 days to do their first btw lesson we will start the lessons, but not be obligated to do the 6th btw lesson before the 6 months are up. The reasoning for this is... the student is cramming 6 months of driving into 4 months. This is not what the state of Wisconsin intended 'holding the temps for 6 months' is all about. Trinity Driving School will not do more than 2 btw lessons in the month proceeding the student's road test. When the parent signs the MV3001 application form at the DMV for the new driver to obtain their temps they agreeing to practice with their son or daughter. Once the new driver obtains their temps they are eligible to drive with any immediate family members in the car as long as their parent or guardian is in the front side passenger seat next to them. The key to any new driver's success is frequency, not length. It would be far more beneficial to take the young driver out 5 times per week for 20 minutes or less verses one time each month for 1 hour. The young driver should be making progress from lesson to lesson. They should be able by btw #4 to turn a corner and end up on the correct side of the street. If the student is not interested in driving and at least one btw lesson has been completed within the first 60 days, we will put things on hold for awhile. The temps can be renewed once. You will have to contact Trinity before going to the DMV to do that though. School Closing Policy: Our policy in regard to btw lessons when the public schools close is... if the roads are fine, we're driving. If the scheduled lessons were to be done at night after school and the students are home because school is cancelled, we're going to move the btw lessons to an earlier time ( especially if the school cancels because of cold weather ). We will make a concession if the student has to babysit siblings, but otherwise, we will drive at an earlier time that day. If the student doesn't want to drive on that particular day that will be considered a missed btw appointment. If the roads are not safe, we do not drive and no fees are assessed. Parents or students can cancel any btw lesson because they fear snow-covered roads. If the cancellation is under 24 hours a $25 fee will be assessed. If the student desires to take their road test 6 months from the time they obtain their temps this may not happen if the student refuses to drive when the roads are snow covered and it is safe to do so. We do live in Wisconsin. If the roads are not safe, we cancel the btw lesson and no fees are assessed. The student's temps are valid for 1 year. This means that we have 182 days approximately to do 6 btw lessons. Trinity Driving School is not obligated in any way to do 6 btw lessons with a student in less than 122 days leading up to a WI road test. 60 days were basically wasted once the student obtained their temps. The state of WI has implemented the Road Test Waiver Program for 16 - 17 year olds. This means that the student does not have to take a road test. The student can apply for a road test waiver once they have completed all their requirements with their driving school and held their temps for at least 6 months & or are at least 16 years old. Reasons Students Fail Their Road Test: Here some driving examiner's insights as to the reasons they 'automatically fail' students... Don't know how to turn on the headlights Check the speedometer more than their mirrors Ignore checking blind spots Check the wrong blind spot before changing lanes Don't recheck mirrors after finishing a maneuver
