How can a person register?
The program can be arranged in several ways.
You can call the KDS office and identify when it would be best to attend a class (morning, afternoon, or evening). KDS will then call when enough people have asked for a class at that preferred time of day.
You can get your friends together and arrange for the class as a group. Make a party of it. Group discounts are available.
Cost?
The fee for this course is $45. Participants who register with a group receive a discount of $5 each. A minimum of 9 people is needed to conduct the course.
Does a person need to pass a test?
Participants have to pass a simple written test with a seventy-five percent score and take a short demonstration drive in a KDS car.
To pass the demonstration drive, participants must drive within marked lanes, stay in appropriate lanes when turning, exercise the proper use of turn signals, maintain the proper stopping distance at intersections, exercise vigilance for other traffic, and wear their seat belts.
Participants can retake the written test at no charge after attending the sessions pertaining to the areas of need. The demonstration drive may be retaken with an additional charge. Adult driving instruction is available before or after the demonstration drive for those wishing to refine their skills.
How is the demonstration drive scheduled?
The demonstration drive can be scheduled after the classroom phase of the program has been completed. This phase of the program can be scheduled at the convenience of each participant. Home pickup can be arranged for an additional fee.
