As the owner of Art of the Wheel Driving School, I bring more than twenty-five years of law enforcement experience and over a decade of expertise as a certified driving instructor to each lesson. Throughout my police career, I have witnessed how a single decision behind the wheel can change a young person’s life forever. These experiences drive my mission: to teach new drivers the awareness, judgment, and safe habits that can prevent the tragedies I’ve responded to far too often.
Our program combines real-world roadway experience with proven teaching methods focused on safety, confidence, and responsibility. Every student trains one-on-one with trusted law enforcement driving school instructors or certified driving instructors — professionals fully vetted and approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. As a father of three, I understand the trust parents place in the person teaching their child to drive, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Detailed Evaluation Description – 1 Hour Lesson
This one-hour behind-the-wheel lesson is structured to provide a comprehensive evaluation of
the student’s current driving abilities while establishing a clear instructional baseline for future
training. The session assesses foundational vehicle-control skills, decision-making, traffic-law
compliance, situational awareness, and the student’s ability to apply safe-driving practices in
real roadway environments. The instructor provides continuous coaching and corrective
feedback to support safe operation while documenting strengths and deficiencies for
instructional planning.
The evaluation begins with a pre-drive safety check, where the student demonstrates proper
adjustment of seating, mirrors, steering wheel, and an understanding of primary vehicle
controls. The instructor observes the student’s ability to perform a safe start-up sequence and
adhere to all initial safety protocols.

ADD ADDITIONAL LESSON
Price: $180 per each lesson
Adding extra lessons with certified driving instructors helps new drivers gain more time to learn, practice, and master the essential skills needed to stay safe on the road. While the state minimum (6 hours) introduces the basics, most teens benefit from additional supervised training at a law enforcement driving school, which builds their confidence, consistency, and thorough preparation for real-world driving. Extra Pennsylvania driving lessons enhance:
- More practice and muscle memory, making skills automatic
- Stronger defensive-driving habits (scanning, space management, hazard recognition)
- Better control of the vehicle in all situations
- Improved maneuvering such as parking, backing, and 3-point turns
- Experience with highway, traffic, and higher speeds
- Lower anxiety and greater confidence behind the wheel
- Higher road-test success rates
Extra lessons do more than help students pass the test; they equip new drivers with the tools to stay safer and more confident on the road.
