This document outlines the in-car behind-the-wheel instructional phase of a driver's education course. It details various vehicle maneuvers and driving skills students are expected to learn, such as visual attention and communication, reference points, vehicle balance, and maneuvers like turning, parking, lane changes, and more. Students will work on these skills while operating a vehicle at various speeds on roadways and intersections. Instruction will include videos and articles from the Drivers Ed Guru website to supplement the in-car lessons.
