What to Do After Completing Your Driving Lessons

After completing driver’s education, students can present themselves to the DMV via appointment. This is where you will take the written test to acquire the learner’s permit. Once you have passed the written test call our office at (925) 933-3181 to schedule your driving lessons. Your permit will be signed by the instructor after the first lesson. Then, you can start the 50 hours of practice with your parents.

Driver's Training

This training program consists of six full hours of behind-the-wheel practice. It will be done by conducting three training sessions in increments of two-hour lessons. We will pick you up at home, work, or school and take you back after your lessons for free. Our instructors are available seven days a week from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

Follow These Three Steps

First Step

Second Step

The student will schedule an appointment to take the written test. This will help in obtaining the permit at the DMV. Aside from that, the following files are also needed to be presented:

Birth Certificate, (original from the county you were born in)
Social Security Card
Driver’s Education Completion form
DL 44 (application signed by parent(s) or guardian, student will wait to sign at the DMV) Pay the Application Fee With Cash, Check (payable to the DMV), or Debit (ATM) Card
Proof of Residence (3 forms – a bill, passport, medical bill, etc.)

When you pass the written test, DMV will issue your provisional instruction permit. This is not valid until after your first lesson with a driving instructor! To schedule your first class after obtaining your permit, call our office at (925) 933-3181.

Third Step

Individuals under the age of 18 are required to complete a total of 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training with Safestway Driving School. They will also hold their permit for six months to take the DMV Drive Test. Upon completing six hours of behind-the-wheel training, the student will receive a DL 400D Certificate of Completion of Behind-The-Wheel Training (Gold). This certificate is issued to the student by the instructor on their last lesson in our school.

In addition to the required six hours with Safestway Driving School, the State of California also requires teens to have 50 hours of driving (10 of the 50 hours at night) with a parent or licensed driver over the age of 25.
