Behind-the-Wheel
Thank you for your interest in the RPS Behind-the-Wheel Program. We’re excited to get you on the road.
Let us tell you about our program:
- We have sessions available Monday through Thursday.
- There are 7 in-car driving sessions, with the 7th session being the final road test.
- Students will spend 1 hour of the session driving and 1 hour observing for a total of 14 hours.
- The cost is $210, which has to be paid online.
- Our morning sessions are from 7:30am to 9:00am. You meet at the driving range at 2120 Fendall Street. The instructor drops students off at school before the 1st morning bell.
- Afternoon sessions are from 3:30pm to 6:00pm. The students will be picked up at their high school at dismissal. We ask that you pick your student up promptly at 6:00 p.m. from the driving range at 2120 Fendall Street.
These are your next steps:
1. Students must have held their learners permit for 9 months
2. Students must have their 45-hour driving log completed
3. Students must go online and pay a $210 Behind-the-Wheel Instruction Fee.
4. NO CASH, CHECK, OR MONEY ORDER will be accepted.

6. Email verification that the Driver's Education Theory course was finished (final grade and date of completion). Students are encouraged to get an Orange Card from the school counselor.
7. Email a photo of the finished 45-hour log.
8. Provide the name of the person to contact for scheduling behind-the-wheel sessions, along with their email address, the name of the student school, and the most convenient phone number.
After all these steps have been completed, an RPS Driving Instructor will be in touch by phone or email to schedule dates and times for the driving sessions. We have both morning (7:30 a.m.-9:00 a.m.) and afternoon (3:30 p.m.-6:00 p.m.) sessions available. Please contact us at 804-933-3625
