Discover our comprehensive lesson structure, developed over 40+ years of instruction. Each lesson is specifically designed to teach defensive driving, safe vehicle operation, and DMV test preparation.
Bay Cities has structured its lesson plans from 40+ years of instruction. Each lesson is specifically designed to teach students the basics of defensive driving, safe vehicle operation, and passing the CA DMV driving test.
The following are the general topics covered in each lesson. We strive to cover each topic in each 2-hour allotted period, but given that every student is different, some topics may be sacrificed in favor of additional practice of other topics. We take a custom approach to every student, and depending on the student's individualized needs, we tailor our approach.
Our Ultimate Goal: Build our students' confidence and ensure that they can not only pass the driving exam, but also be safe drivers that understand the theory behind driving laws and rules.
Note: Content below is non-exhaustive and samples actual content; actual lesson content will be partially tailored depending on the student's skill level.
These core principles guide every lesson and interaction with our students
Every student is different. We tailor our approach to individual needs and skill levels.

Students learn both practical skills and the theory behind driving laws and rules.

Each 2-hour lesson builds upon the previous one, progressively developing your driving skills and confidence
All lessons teach the importance of defensive driving, a driving technique that's meant to minimize the risk of accidents by being proactively aware and cautious while on the road.
This approach helps create safer drivers who can anticipate and respond to potential hazards before they become dangerous situations.
Every student learns differently and at their own pace. Our instructors assess individual needs and adjust the curriculum accordingly to ensure maximum learning effectiveness.
Some students may need extra practice with parking, while others might need more time on highway merging. We adapt to what you need most.
