What Does the 7 + 7 Behind-the-Wheel Program Mean?

Texas teen driver education includes more than classroom learning. After completing the required classroom portion, students complete 7 hours of behind-the-wheel driving with an instructor and 7 hours of observation.

During the driving lessons, the student practices important skills in real traffic while the instructor provides guidance and feedback.

Behind-the-wheel training can help your teen practice:

  • Starting and stopping smoothly
  • Turning and changing lanes
  • Maintaining lane position
  • Parking and backing
  • Following traffic signs
  • Managing speed
  • Understanding right-of-way
  • Making safer decisions in traffic

The goal is not only to prepare for the driving test. It is to help your teen become more comfortable and responsible behind the wheel.
