A student driver education classroom program for Fairmont and Truman area students will begin in June for students 14 years and older. The class will
be held on the following dates: June 3-June 14. The class will be held at the Truman High School from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. There will be a
recommended parent meeting on June 4 from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. If you attended one of our meetings previously, you need not attend this one.
SUMMARY OF THE DRIVER EDUCATION PROGRAM
*Students that are age 15 and have successfully completed the classroom program are able to take their state written exam at the examining station.
*Behind-the-wheel training (6 hours of driving time) is done throughout the school year. The instructor will contact the student to schedule a time. Instruction
is typically taught weekdays between the hours of 4:00-6:00 p.m. during the school year and 8:00-5:00 during the summer.
*The instructor will make arrangements with the student/parent for behind-the-wheel instruction.
*The student is driving alone with the instructor for one-on-one driving instruction.
*By law, students must wait six months after receiving their permit to qualify for a driver’s license even if the student is sixteen years old. If behind the wheel
openings are available, students that turn sixteen or are sixteen or older within that six-month waiting period, will be completed first as well as those that
qualify for a farm permit. Students should let Mr. Uttech know during one of the class days that he/she qualifies for their license early.
*Total cost of the driver education program for the classroom phase and behind-the-wheel training is $300.00. Payment plan available upon request.
Behind the wheel only is available at $30/hour.
*Parents and students should be aware that the hours of classroom and behind-the-wheel-training are the minimum requirements set by law. If a student
lacks any of the required time, he/she must make up the time and will be assessed an additional fee of $30.00.
*If a student is unable to complete the classroom and/or behind the wheel program a refund will be available. If the student had already started the class
and/or behind the wheel instruction and decides to leave, the money refunded will be prorated accordingly. If a student wishes to take the classroom program
only, the cost is $125.00 and the cost for behind the wheel only is $30.00/hour.
*This agreement constitutes a contract between GHEC/RM Driving and the student/parent and no verbal statements or promises will be recognized.
Thank you in advance for choosing our program!
*Before taking the state written exam, your student must have an original certified birth certificate and social security card. If your child was born in
another state and plans to take his/her written driving exam immediately after completing the classroom program, you should contact the county courthouse
as soon as possible in the state/county the child was born to obtain a certified birth certificate.
