ZERO EXPERIENCE!

What is Kick Start All About?
What is the Purpose of Kick Start?
The purpose of this program is to help alleviate the anxiety of a parent getting in the car with their teenager for the very first time. With this "Kick Start" program, over a two hour period, your teenager will:
-
Become much more familiar with the vehicle and it's controls.
-
Maneuver the vehicle in a controlled environment
-
Starts and Stops
-
Turning the Wheel
-
Guiding the vehicle through a closed marked course
-
Learn to drive in reverse
-
-
Once comfortable, the student will maneuver the vehicle onto a quiet residential roadway.
This program will not eliminate the responsibility of the parent to ensure that their teenager drives the minimum 20 hours before they start their on-road lessons. What the program will do is instruct and encourage them to be more comfortable in the car before the parent takes over.
