Learning to drive in Corning.
Corning is the farthest town we serve, about 37 miles north of our office in Tehama County. Corning students meet their instructor at our Chico office, and the whole lesson is spent driving in Chico: quiet streets near Bidwell Park for control, the Esplanade and East Avenue for lane choice, downtown and CSU Chico for pedestrians and cyclists, and Highway 99 or Highway 32 for merging at speed. The lesson ends back at the office.
