What to Expect from Behind-the-Wheel Training at Rhodes Driving Schools

Behind-the-wheel training is a critical step in becoming a confident, safe driver, and at Rhodes Driving Schools in San Antonio, we make the experience both educational and empowering. Our hands-on training is designed to prepare teens and adults for the DPS road test and real-world driving. Here’s what you can expect during your behind-the-wheel lessons with us:

1. Certified, Patient Instructors: Our instructors, each with over a decade of experience, create a calm and supportive environment. They tailor each lesson to your skill level, whether you’re gripping the wheel for the first time or refining advanced maneuvers.
2. Structured Learning Progression: Our 7-hour behind-the-wheel training (part of the Teen Driver Education program) starts with the basics—steering, braking, and accelerating—in a controlled setting. As you gain confidence, we progress to navigating San Antonio’s roads, including residential areas, busy intersections, and highways.
3. Focus on Key Skills: You’ll practice essential techniques tested by the DPS, such as parallel parking, lane changes, and three-point turns. We also emphasize defensive driving, teaching you to anticipate hazards, maintain safe distances, and respond to traffic conditions.
4. Modern Training Vehicles: Our vehicles are equipped with dual controls for safety, allowing instructors to intervene if needed. They’re well-maintained and designed to help you feel comfortable while learning.
5. Real-World Scenarios: San Antonio’s roads can be challenging, from heavy traffic to construction zones. Our lessons include real-world scenarios to prepare you for local driving conditions, ensuring you’re ready for anything.
6. Flexible Scheduling: With four locations (Helotes, Ellison, Eckhert, and Culebra), we offer behind-the-wheel sessions at times that suit your schedule, including evenings and weekends. Plus, we coordinate with your classroom or online coursework for a seamless experience.

At Rhodes Driving Schools, our behind-the-wheel training is part of our 40-year commitment to creating safer drivers. Whether you’re a teen earning your permit or an adult seeking your license, we’ll guide you every step of the way. Ready to take the wheel?
