Our instructors are specially qualified to teach important defensive driving lessons to our students because they have already seen it all. Your coaches and teachers all served as police officers, or first responders and they bring a unique perspective to the classroom and are trained to impart that information in the most effective ways.

PARTNERSHIP WITH PARENTS
Parent involvement is critical for the student’s success. 50 hours of supervised driving is required by WA State prior to receiving a driver’s license. If a parent refuses to practice with the student and the student is not able to complete the tasks of each BTW Lesson, parents will need to pay for additional drives in order for the student to move onto the next drive lesson, This can be avoided by the parent involvement. Attendance at one of our Parent Nights is highly recommended.
STUDENT AND PARENT RESPONSIBILITY
ALL STUDENTS AND PARENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KNOWING AND TRACKING THEIR INDIVIDUAL DEADLINES, ABSENCES AND COURSE PROGRESSION
BTW Practice: It is 911 Driving School’s practice to have two students in the instructional vehicle at all times. There are instances when this is not possible. By signing this form, you give 911 Driving School permission to conduct BTW (Behind the Wheel) training in a one-on-one setting. In the event that our instructors are unavailable, there may be a substitute Department of Licensing certified driving school instructor that is not a first responder.
Behavior: Students and parents are fully accountable for their conduct. Students can be dismissed from the course for their misbehavior, cheating (whether sharing or receiving answers), being under the influence of drugs, including alcohol, during any of the instructional phases, misuse or abuse of Traffic Safety Education equipment, repeated and willful violation of traffic laws, failure to complete assigned work and multiple failed tests without a refund. If a parent cannot act in a calm and civil manner, students will be dismissed from the course they are enrolled in.
Attendance: Classroom and BTW instruction will be completed in not less than 30 days and not more than 3 contiguous months after the last day of class. Enrollment will not be allowed after the third class has started. Students must be 15 years old by the first day of class. No more than three absences permitted. All absences and failed test #4 (scoring less than 80%) must be made up. Students can be dismissed without refund from the course for excessive tardiness or unexcused absences.
Certificate: Upon successful completion of all tests and activities required for our program and upon full payment of tuition and fees, a Traffic Safety Education Completion will be entered with DOL. Extra behind the wheel time, whether desired or required, are $95 an hour.
Organ Donor: Washington State requires our course to include information about the Organ Donor Program. This portion of the course is optional.
Completion of this traffic safety course does not guarantee the student(s) will pass the DOL exam.
