SECTION 1.  REGISTRATION

     A.  I (Joda Collins) strongly suggest you read this entire Contract before submitting this Registration information. 

     B.  What is the driver's:

          (1).  Name exactly as it appears on his/her driver license or State ID?

          (2).  Driver license number?

          (3).  Date of birth?

          (4).  Last four numbers of the driver's Social Security Number?

          (5).  Third citation number (as found on the paperwork sent to the driver from the Department of Hwy Safety, Tallahassee). 

          (6).  Complete physical address, including city and zip. 

     C.  Is the driver the person that is responsible for all training fees?  

           (1).  If not, may I have the following information regarding the person who is the financially responsible individual for training fees:

                   (a).  Name.

                   (b).  Email address.

                   (c).  Complete mailing address.

                   (d).  That persons relationship or association status with you.

     D.  The most difficult part of my job is not training drivers, it is trying to work with 3-in-3 drivers that do not read or read but do not understand their legal responsibilities towards me and then become upset with me because their lack of reading or reading comprehension causes problems, stress or causes them added expense.  If you cannot read or cannot read well enough to understand the Legal Documents please find someone in your life that can help you do so, so we can avoid the many problems that will arise if you do not know the content of the Legal Documents (Contracts Four, Five and Seven).    If you cannot read, and have no one to read the Legal Documents to you, tell me before you sign the Legal Documents and I will consider paying someone, out of my pocket, to read everything to you.     

SECTION 2.  THE TYPICAL PROCESS/PROCEDURE WHICH CAN CHANGE DEPENDING ON SEVERAL VARIABLES.
    A.  I (Joda Collins) answer any questions                  asked during initial inquiry.
    B.  Registration (See #1 above.)
    C.  The Client (financially responsible                      person for all training related fees)                      approves of Contracts Four, and Five                  and, for now, skims the content of                      Contract Seven. (If Contract Six is                 ever mentioned, I meant Contract                 Seven!). 
    D.  Agreement on services and                                corresponding charges.
    F.   Agreement on/Client approval of                        Contract Seven.

    G.  Payment Received.
    H.  Invitation to Request Scheduling                         Date/Time in no sooner than eight days             after receiving payment, unless....
    J.  Confirmation of Scheduling Date and                 Time.
    K.  Client and Student-driver meets with me            (Joda Collins) at the start of the training              to sign paper copies of the legal                          documents, unless other arrangements              were made.  Then, training occurs.
    L.  Payment of Post-training Fee/Charges, if           any, and if not charged in advance,                     under which circumstances, any charges           that is not warranted is refunded.
    M.  I (Joda Collins) inform the State of your             Completion.
    N.  When I am informed by the State of the              State recording of your Completion, I                  notify the Client that the Driver can

          contact the local Driver License Office to            schedule Driver's State Driving Exam.                That usually takes 1 to 2 business days.                               
SECTION 3.  INTRODUCTION
     A.  Training with me is not a test.  No one fails. Everyone passes. It is training to best be sure you pass your State driving test, keep or regain your driver license, and become as safe a driver as possible in four-hours of training.     
     B.  There are 35-driving skills I am doing all of the time, while watching your driving habits and looking for teaching moments.  I have a long list of State requirements for training I am trying to complete.  Please limit your questions.  My focus is on your most serious safety needs.  When the lesson is filled with a student's questions, it detracts from all of this.   Questions that do not relate to a driver's most serious needs poorly invest the time that could be spent on priorities.  If any questions remain after the training is over, email them to me. I will answer them for FREE for as long as I am of sound mind to do so.  I will usually answer all your questions before the four-hours of training is over.  So far, after 17-years in this business, and more than 400 3-in-3 drivers, no driver has emailed me with a question that was not addressed during the training.
     C.  Four-hours will not be enough to do everything, but we can get a lot accomplished if you:
          (1).  Are humble, mature and interested in learning and willing to put in the effort.           
          (2).  Do not spend your time arguing or trying to debate with me.
          (3).  Allow me to lead the training rather than try to direct the training with a barrage of questions or otherwise trying to tell me what to do.     

     D.  If you have no interest in doing the hard work to become a safer driver, be honest and let me know in advance so I can do the minimum required by the State.  There is no reason to do more.  Many driving school lie and tell their students that passing the four-hours of training is a State requirement in order to try to muster up interest in learning from drivers that have little or none. I do not lie.

     E.  KINDNESS, PATIENCE AND CONSIDERATION.  

           We live in an increasingly difficult world.  The divisions among Americans are many and severe.  The media (TV and Social) make us keenly aware of that and fosters more division in a search for ratings because ratings = money.             

           Customer service is in the toilet.  The cost of living is out of control.  Frustration and hostility increase every day.  America has being infiltrated by our enemies.  No aware and informed person is exempt from the pressure of these things. 

            Three-in-Three drivers have often experienced great hardships due to crashes and, especially, if their license is suspended. I understand that.

             However, let's give each other the benefit of any doubt and give our best efforts to be kind, patient and understanding towards one another.  Thank you.   

                                                      
SECTION 4.  THE MINIMUM INITIAL CHARGE IS $957.00.  The maximum remittance is $209.00.  Therefore, the minimum total charge is $957 minus $209 = $748 if everything (A through N immediately below) is true:
      A.  You follow my directions well that lead to scheduling.
      B.  You train:

            (1).  On a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and not a Friday or Saturday.
            (2).  With a start time of 11am.

            (3).  In one four-hour session and not two, two-hour sessions.
      C.  The student-driver is also the client (the financially responsible person).
      D.  Payment is being made by cashier's check rather than a Visa, Discover or MasterCard.
      E.  Your driver license is still valid and you are using a vehicle that you can prove, with written evidence dated no later than 60-days before your training date, that you, by name, are insured to drive said vehicle. 
      F.  Training beings and ends at 3804 Garcon Point Road, Milton, FL 32583.  This is one-tenth of one mile off of Interstate 10 at Exit 26, 6.5 miles East of Pensacola. This is a Circle K Gas Station, grocery store and restaurant.  Park in a space facing the side of the building (Manager's request).  Enter the front door, make an immediate left. Take 10 steps and I will be seated on your left.  My photo is at www.jodacollins.com.  My cell is 850 304 1870.
      G.  The lesson, once scheduled, is not canceled or missed for any reason other than fear of adverse weather for which you (the Client) provides, at least, a one-hour notice.
      H.  You schedule your training no sooner than eight days AFTER I notify you that I received your payment.
      J.  Except as otherwise requested or directed, you (the client, which is the financially responsible person for my fees) correspond with me by email, ONLY, after my first email to you, on all matters that concern contractual matters, including but not limited to services, scheduling and fees.
      K.  You have not taken any 3-in-3 training from me before.  
      L.  While you are welcome to ask as many questions via email as you want to, after I give an answer, you are able to function/proceed without asking a question that is answered by the same answer I already provided via email.

      M. All communication that address services, scheduling and/or fees is ONLY between me (Joda Collins) and the Client (financially responsible person for my fees).

      N.  If there are any changes regarding services or fees, the Contract is null and void and a new Contract will be prepared and presented to the Client for approval.

SECTION 5.  PRE-TRAINING CHARGES​
     A.  When you consider my charges, please consider my profit.  This is my business, so my profit is my salary.  In January 2025 through September 2025, I earned $15.28 per hour  with no benefits; no 401K, no sick days off with pay, no vacation time, no dental, no medical, none of my Social Security paid by an employer.  I cannot charge less and stay in business.  When you consider my fees, consider my legal liability, my experience (professional truck driver, UPS driver, chauffeur and more) and the degree of expertise it takes to teach more than 2,300, more than 240,000 miles, and more than 13,000 training hours, how to drive or drive better and so without having a single crash in my training vehicle.

     B.  Charges are guaranteed for 30 to 45-days (as noted in your email from me) from the original offer plus 30-days from your payment.
     C.  Removed.
     D.  Registration ....................................$175             (1).  On average, it takes 3.5 hours to walk a driver through the pre-scheduling process that leads to the training.  My office expense is $50 per hour. I keep track of the time spent to do this task.  If the task takes less than 3.5 hours I will refund the unused fees.  If it takes more than 3.5 hours, I will not increase this fee.                                                           (2).  This $175 fee is non-refundable, under any conditions, except as clarified in (1) above, because it is for service already rendered.  Do NOT pay this $175 fee if you are not training or cannot train within 30-days of the payment. 

      E.  Re-Processing/Re-Registration........$36
          (1). If a Client approves (by email) the Legal Documents but does not follow through

with training within 90-days of said approval, and returns at a later date for my service, there is a token fee of $36 paid to me for my unpaid efforts to Process and Register the Client and/or Student wherein no payment was made and the Driver and/or Client did not follow through  to take training.  After 90-days a Re- Registration is required and an additional $175 Registration Fee.  This $36 fee is in addition to the loss of the $175 Registration Fee for the first failed Registration (that is, no service within 90-days of the original approval of the Legal Documents).

     F.  OUT OF SEQUENCE FEE...............$65

           (1).  Sometimes a person asks me to serve them out of my normal procedure which is:

                   (a).  My initial response to initial                                 inquiry.

                   (b).  Financial approval for services.

                   (c).  Approval of Legal Documents.

                   (d).  Payment received.

                   (e).  Scheduling not sooner than                                eight days after payment                                    received.

                   (f).  Training

                   (g).  Payment for any post-training                            fees/charges.

            (2).  IF and when I allow out of sequence service, it always cost me more time, money and energy.  I have procedures in the order that best facilitates the least amount of admin work, time, effort and money for me.  Asking me to serve out of sequence, increase my admin time, stress, work and expense, thus this payment is for my additional service, part of my additional expense, and the added work (stress).  I am exactly like you.  You do not work for your employer for free.

     G.  TRAIN ON A FRIDAY OR 

SATURDAY RATHER THAN A TUE,

WED OR THURSDAY...................................$59

     H.  SCHEDULING AND/OR   RESCHEDULING, FEE PER APPOINTMENT...........................................$25           (1).  This expense is not included in the Registration Fee (or anywhere else) because not everyone that Registers schedules training. Rather than refund $25 to those that Register but do not schedule training, this Fee is only charged to those that schedule an appointment.  This fee covers the administrative expense/time (time is money) of sending the email inviting the Client to request an appointment, me verifying said request still remains available and was not reserved by another just prior to said Clients request and/or my getting to said email to see it, me updating the online Calendar by hand, and putting that date and time in my appointment calendar system, and me sending a confirmation email to the Client for said date and time request.  This fee is non-refundable once a person schedules.  If a person scheduled two, two-hour sessions, the scheduling fee is $25 times two = $50.00.

     J.  If, for any reason, all four-hours cannot or will not be taken in one session, there is an additional fee for the second of two, two-hour sessions  .............................................$99

If a client and/or driver changes his/her mind and after training begins, desires to extend the two-hour lesson to four-hours, if I can and do allow that, this fee is non-refundable, unless I can schedule someone else in that reserved time.

     K.  If a driver wants to begin at any other time than 11am, add $19 per hour, or any

part of an hour to the fee = $19 times ____ hours = ....................................................$____ 

          (1).  Example:  Twelve noon would an additional $19.00.  Twelve thirty would be $19 for 11am to 12noon, and an additional $19 ($38 total) for that 1.5 hours.

                                                                                 L. TRAINING FEE......,...................;.......$496

         (1).  Possible Remittance.......$0 to $209
                 (a).  I (Joda Collins) would like to hire you (the Student-driver) to perform a service for me that will make my job much easier, make my school much more effective, greatly increase your chances of passing the State exam with excellence, and give me a much better reputation with the Driver License Office. I am willing to pay you for that service.  The maximum remittance (pay) is paid if Driver memorizes the following well enough to quote it without error or hesitation and upon my FIRST request.

         Ahead, behind, mirror, shoulder, signal.

         Ahead, behind, mirror, shoulder, move.

and

         Slow, right, look, signal, stop.

         Look, go slow and turn fast, stop, reverse.

         Look, go slow and turn fast, stop, drive.

         Look, go slow and turn fast, coast, accelerate.

                         (1).  The remittance is $79 for the first list and $130 for the longer, second, list noted above.  This remittance, if earned, will be paid by mail within two business days of the completion of the training. 

                         (2).  This is not a refund. It is not automatic nor guaranteed because it is not a refund.  It is payment to the Client for services rendered to me (Joda Collins).

     M.CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD FAILURE..$20

     N.  AFTER TRAINING REPORT.............$25
           (1).  This Report provides written evidence of training for the State and a list of driver needs. It is impossible to remember all of the instructions for safer driving hear during training.  Having that list in print allows the driver to check the list before every driving outing and double check it at the end of each outing to see if he or she is showing improvement              
           (2).  This report is not mandatory, but it is valuable.  If, however, you do not want this report, let me know before you pay for it and I will not charge you for it.  Once paid, it is non-refundable.
                                                                            
     P.  Registration/Enrollment Administration      Service 
          (1).  If the Student-driver and the Client are NOT the same person...........................$50
          (2).  If the Client cannot or will not allow me to communicate with him/her directly by email at my desire or upon my need to do so, 100% of the time.......................................$100  
                  (a).  When email is not available to me to directly communicate with the Client, I will accept voice mail inquiries, but I reserve the right to respond to inquiries that address any contractual matter, scheduling or finances, by US Postal Service rather than return  phone calls.  This willingness on my part does not negate the $100 charge noted above.

      Q.  Insurance Verification Service............$1 
           (a).  To allow an unlicensed driver to use any vehicle other than mine (Joda Collins) for the training, I will need the following statement on Insurance letterhead dated no later than 60-days prior to training appointment, signed by an insurance employee, and mailed to me Joda Collins, 4033 Buttonbush Dr., Milton, FL 32583 that reads:

"The following unlicensed individual:
     Driver's Name as it appears on License or             State ID:
     Driver License Number:

     Status of Driver License:
     Date of Birth:  
  
Is insured by us to drive the following vehicle on public roads:
     Make:
     Model:
     Year:
     Vehicle Identification Number:   
     Registered Owner: "

When I receive that letter, I will contact the Client for the next step that leads to scheduling.

      R.  Door-to-door Service (if applicable)..........................................$ to ____  This fee is provided to you via email after the Client provides to me the start and end address for the training. It includes the actual toll charge, plus the actual expense of $6 for administrative time (expense) and postage to mail in the fee.                                                                       
      S.  Rental charge for using the Joda Collins
vehicle for over-the-road / in-traffic training
rather than another insured vehicle...........$152
           (1).  This fee does not cover my expense (wear/tear and insurance charge) or strain for accepting liability.  For example, imagine asking a taxi driver, owner of a chauffeur service, any business owner with a vehicle registered in the business name, or any stranger with a personal vehicle to let a driver, that is considered, by State standards, to be a dangerous (crash prone) driver, (no offense is intended; just stating a fact), drive his/her vehicle for four-hours for $38 per hour  while the vehicle owner assumes all liability.  No insurance company in the Florida (that I know of) insures unlicensed drivers, except when driving in a vehicle registered to a professional driving school.  I (Joda Collins) am not obligated to let anyone and everyone drive my car. I am, certainly, not obligated to let others drive my car for free.

      T.  RETURNING DRIVER - PER  ADDITIONAL APPOINTMENT,        EVEN IF THE APPOINTMENT WAS    MISSED, CANCELED OR RESCHEDULED FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN         

FEAR OF ADVERSE WEATHER, FOR

WHICH AT LEAST A TWO-HOUR   

NOTICE IS PROVIDED, FOR THE 

FOUR-HOURS OF 3/3 TRAINING...........$120  

      U.  EXPEDITE / FAST TRACK.............$80 
           (1).  If the training occurs within seven days of payment received (in any amount), this fee applies.  If you want to know the reason for this charge, scroll down to the bottom of this page (of writing) and then scroll up to Section Eleven.  This is in addition to the $65 Out-of-sequence fee, because this specific out of sequence favor is very costly to me in several ways.

      V.  STATE RECORDING FEE................$27

      W.   SPECIAL/ADDITIONAL MEETING 
​            (1).  If a client and/or student-driver wants to or needs to meet with me prior to a scheduled training appointment, there is a charge of......................................................$39 

      X.  HYBRID PAYMENT(S)                                        (1).  Some payment made with a Visa card or Mastercard and some payment made in any other form...........................................$19
             (2).  Some payment made by one party, and some payment made by another party or parties; that is, two or more clients..............$16 

       Y.  EXTRA ADMINISTRATION NEEDS
It is good if each step in the process of serving  takes only one email.  For each failure to follow written directions that requires me              (Joda Collins) to provide an additional identical response the charge is ...............................$10                                                       Per Response
            (1).  My (Joda Collins) business is established on set procedures, like a car assembly line. This keeps expenses and charges lower.  I do not average the cost for service to all, and charge everyone the same.  I average the cost of service if the Client and/or Driver follows directions, then add a fee to individual Clients each time I have to do extra work because the Client and/or Driver did not follow written directions. There are a lot of reasons why a person does not follow written directions, including but not limited to, poor reading skills, English is not his/her first language, or did not read carefully.  However, what ever the reason, the cost in time and money to me is the same.  This is not a punishment fee; it is additional pay for additional service rendered.  
           (2).  Every variable, that was/is not the result of me (Joda Collins) not following procedures, not following directions or providing errant information to you, that requires you to respond to me, is a FREE response to you and $10 fee to you to help compensate for your wasted valuable time.      
           (3).  Every variable, that was/is the result of me not following my own procedures, and not allowed for in my Legal Documents, or providing errant information to you, that requires you to respond to me, is a $10 charge to me, that I pay you. Your time is as valuable as mine.  I assume responsibility for my mistakes that cost you (the Client) time out of your life. 
            (4).   Removed.          
            (5).  Every response from me         (Joda Collins) that is required as the result of you not following written directions or providing errant information to me, is a $10 charge, that you pay (owe) me.  I expect those I serve to assume responsibility for their mistakes that cost me time out of my life and money out of my pocket.  I sell my expertise and my life (time), as do we all in our employment.
            (6).  All communication, after my initial contact with you is by email, unless otherwise requested in accord with the following
                  (a).  I will respond by phone, text, IM, at your request for..................................$10                                                          per request 
                  (b).  I will never ask you to respond by phone, text or IM. 

Z.  AVERAGE PROFIT...............................$189

AA.  What is the total of all figures above?         (A through Z).........................................$_____

  
BB.  Plus $91 if training on a Friday or Saturday or $0 of training only on a Tue,     Wed or Thursday............................$_____

CC.  What is Z plus AA?........................$_____

    (1).  This is your total if you are paying                 with a cashier's check or money order.

            (a).  Includes a 7% reduced charge on                 all pre-training fees when paid with a                 cashier's check or money order.  Said                 7% discount is not applicable to any                   post-training charges.

DD.  If Client is paying with a Visa, Discovery  or MasterCard, multiply the total in CC by 1.075273 and delete cents...................$______
          
EE.   PAYMENT PLAN                                                 (1).  I used to extend credit, but in the half-dozen times I did, I never got paid even though every person promised profusely to pay later.  I do not extend credit because I do not have any way to secure payment after my services are rendered.   Put it this way, if you owned a business, would you work on credit for a person you do not know on their promise to pay you in full sometime in the future for work you completed.  Me either.  Not anymore. Been there.  Done that!  I have a soft heart, but I cannot afford to be a soft touch.  Try that at a grocery store, restaurant or gas station.

   
SECTION 5.  PAYMENT AND SCHEDULING 
     A.  If paying by mail and not with a visa or MasterCard credit or debit card, mail your money order or cashier's check for the amount, specified in your Summary Contract sent to you email AFTER you agree to fees, to Joda Collins Driving Academy, 4033 Buttonbush Dr., Milton, FL 32583.          
           (1).  When I receive payment, I will send you an email invitation to go to www.jodacollins.com, to the Available Dates and Times Section and request your scheduling appointment by return email.      
     B.  I do accept payment (including via cash) in person.  I make a special appointment for payment via cash and that appointment incurs a $38 charge for my time and admin time it takes to schedule and send a reminder.  I do not accept cash in the mail.                                
    C.  BE SURE TO KEEP YOUR PROOF OF PURCHASE.  While I have never had anything lost in the mail in my entire life, there may be a first time. So, keep your proof of purchase for your money order or cashier's check.   

    D.  I only communicate with the Client (the financially responsible person) about contractual matters, including but not limited to scheduling, fees and/or services.

SECTION 6. HOW TO RECEIVE A $79 and $130 REMITTANCE. 

    A.  Memorize the following well enough to quote it without hesitation or error and upon my first request, and receive a $79 remittance.       

         "Ahead, Behind, Mirror, Shoulder, Signal.            Ahead, Behind, Mirror, Shoulder, Move.

   
     B.  Memorize the following well enough to quote it without hesitation or error and upon my first request, and receive a $130 remittance.      
      "Slow, right, look, signal, stop.                                      Look, go slow and turn fast, stop, reverse.        
        Look, go slow and turn fast, stop, drive.                      Look, go slow and turn fast, coast, accelerate." 

      C.  There is no "E" for effort for the above memorization task. There is no financial remittance of any amount for trying hard.  Neither is a percentage of partial financial credit for remembering part of it or stumbling through it like a drunk in a parking lot.  There is no financial consideration for failed effort.  The Remittance is not a participation gift provided to everyone for making an effort.                            
             (1).  Please do not argue with me with a claim that you once remembered these things but, "just forgot them," and that counts as memorizing.  That is like saying, saying, "I once knew my name, address, phone number and birth date, but I forgot them right now, so that proves I have them the memorized right now."  Such logic is infantile.            

             (2).  There is no money paid to client's for a driver's failed effort any more than the 
Driver License Office will grant a license for a failed driving exam. This is not an entitlement.  It is me (Joda Collins) paying the Client money for specific contracted services rendered to me by the student-driver. 

SECTION 7.  POST-TRAINING CHARGES

A.  The following charges are not subject to a discount when paying in any other form other than a card. 

B.  Post-training charges are capped at a maximum of $176 in addition to all fees paid prior to scheduling.

C. These fees are not punitive for any behavior or personality difficulties, real or imagined, of a driver.  If a student's personality or behavior causes me extra irritation, stress, danger or work, these fees help offset those irritations, dangers and/or additional work.  These fees are simply for added stress, danger, difficulty, irritation and effort whether the driver intended it or not. It is payment for services, not personal or vindictive accusations against the character or personality of the driver.  However, because I itemize and clarify the charges, unless asked in advance not to do so, there is necessity for clarification which might sound personal. I assure you, that none of these things, in any setting that would not cause me added stress, danger, difficulty or irritation would incur a single penny of charge or even a hint of such an intent.  I would, simply, walk away and the problems are immediately resolved.  All additional difficulties are easily avoided with few footsteps in the opposite direction of the person creating the difficulty.  That is not possible if I am going to serve such people.
        (1).  If, at any time before the end of the first hour of training, you find my presence intolerable, let me know and I will cease training and give you a full refund, excluding door-to-door fees and the agreed-on $175 or $189 (if paid for with a card) non-refundable fees for pre-training services already rendered. We can consider that we never met.

        (2).  Because the Client and the Student have signed a document stating they have read, understand and accept their benefits and responsibilities as outlined in Contract 4, 5   and 7, I am not obligated to confront or warn a driver that said fees will be charged because the driver and/or client already agreed to the Contract and testified, by his/her signature, of comprehension of said contractual information.
                                                                           
D.  Failure to follow written instructions .... $15                                                         Per Failure. 
To incur this fee, said failure must cause me 
(Joda Collins) added administrative effort.          
E.  Contract Alteration Fee.........................$30  

Any change in Contract, including but not limited to missed, canceled or rescheduled appointment due to any change not related to my (Joda Collins') action, after Contract fees are approved but before the training begins, incurs this fee.        

F.  A cut and paste from or reference to any legal documents........................................... $5                                                   Per need/action.
     (1).  After the Legal Documents (Contracts) are accepted by the Client and Driver, I (Joda Collins) often answer questions by cut and paste from the Legal Documents.  I do this to free myself from any accusations that I did not provide the information and to encourage the Client and/or Driver to review Legal Documents for clarity.  Something missed can be evidence of many things missed.       

     (2).  Without this charge, I am locked in an unending spiral of Q and A for all those that opt not to read the Legal Documents, thus making it impossible to make a living with unending Q and A administration expenses eating up all my profit and more.  And, the constant Q and A turns my life into a mild form of Hell of inquisition where the Inquisitor assumes the position that I am fully responsible for all contractual benefits for him/her but he/she is free from any contractual obligation to me on the basis he/she did not read anything and is only held accountable for the things I take half half an hour explain AFTER he or she agrees to the Legal Documents.  I will answer dozens of questions free of charge BEFORE the a Client agrees to the Legal Documents, but not after.  I am just asking for adult behavior from adults. I do not think I am expecting too much.  For those that think I am, therein lies the problem.

        
G.  Credit/Debit Card Charge Denial 
Response BEFORE the Training is Completed...................................................$18 

H.  EXTRA EFFORT FEES 

I (Joda Collins) am always happy when I have no need/cause to impose these extra effort charges.  I much prefer the benefits afforded to me when no extra effort fees are due than the collecting of said fees and incur the additional effort (work).  Any or all of these fees are charged at my (Joda Collins) discretion. These charges may, also, be
charged in advance, at my discretion and refunded if not used.

If you think you will incur any of these fees, and want to pay for these charges by cash at the end of the lesson, bring additional cash, not to exceed $176.00. You must notify me that you want to pay by cash at the end of the training, before the training begins.  

These fees have nothing to do any kind of accusation against a person's character any more than the total charge for a tank of gas, a bag of groceries, a dental bill or the charge for a restaurant meal has to do with a person's character.  I do not do anything for free including enduring unnecessary added
stress, irritation, difficulty or danger.  My charges, like all charges, are directly related to cost for products, charges for services and my effort on your behalf.  All of the fees below are related to things that others do that make my job more difficult, more dangerous, less productive, and/or more stress on me than is necessary, anticipated and already part of their fee.

(1).  Aggravation Fee.......................$50 to $100 depending on MY (Joda Collins) perception of the degree of aggravation.         
      (1).  I ask those I serve not argue with me, ignore me, refuse to follow my directions, tell me why you will not or did not follow my directions as justification for doing so, or waste my energy telling me why they disagree with traffic laws they think are stupid.  Do not try to justify wrong driving decisions after I think I have adequately clarified what you did wrong, or make up your own rules of the road to replace State and Federal traffic laws, thus place my safety in danger.                                  
      (2).  Do not tell me, directly or by insinuation, I am wrong, and you are right without giving me a chance to finish my thoughts/presentation of the matter.                   
      (3).  If I ask you a question that can be answered by a "yes" or "no," have the courtesy to give me a "yes" or "no" response rather than a monologue.  Yes or no questions are asked so I can get needed information fast, sometimes for safety and sometimes to make the best use of time.
       (4).   Know, also, that this fee is not conditioned on your opinion if I was aggravated by your behavior or not, but solely on my subjective evaluation.  I know when I am being aggravated, even if others do not; even though they should know.  Also, some people have the ability to aggravate others even while smiling or even while doing so with a sweet-sounding voice. Sometimes driver's say to me in a child's voice/tone, "Well, that is just my personality!" as if to say that because they have an aggravating personality, I should overlook it and endure it for FREE.  I do not.  I will not.  Just be a kind, considerate and decent person rather than obnoxious, confrontational, argumentative, degrading, unteachable, sugar-sweet as a cover for excuse for being these things, and/or filling hours with justification of doing wrong rather than be teachable and learn to drive better. It isn't hard for normal adults to do that.  I am easy to get along with, but if your behavior is not, at least, as the lowest level of common courtesy, you just lost money.

      (5).  Keep casual conversation about home, work, school, money, jobs, family, favorite ____ to a minimum as that eats up time, makes it harder for me get done for you what I am assigned by the State to do in the limited time I have to do it, and takes my mind off the task -- all of which is unkind and irritating to me.      
      (6).  It has been my experience that the majority of three-in-three drivers have significant psychological and/or social and/or cognitive and/or behavioral problems; I am entitled to my opinion.  My opinion is credible because it is based on 17-years in this business and more than 400, 3-in-3 drivers trained.  I hope, in your case, I am wrong, and you are the exception to the norm. I will assume you are the exception unless you prove me wrong.
            (a).  Hints:                                                                  (1).  If I say something like, "You did not come to full stop at the stop sign," do not say, "Yes, I did! you lying ignorant fool!"  Don't even say, "Yes, I did!", because I can tell by tone, that most intend (are implying) the latter, also.  Everyone, including me, will make a mistake once in awhile. I will take your occasional mistake gracefully. Take mine, if you think I made one, the same way.  Let is pass.   

                   (2).  If I tell you that you broke a traffic law, do not tell me why you violated the law and/or why your personal and private rules of the road are better than the legal rules of the road everyone else has to follow.  Making up one's one rules of the road is one of the major habits of many three-in-three drivers and one of the main reasons for crashing, thus, also, putting my life in danger with such a person behind-the-wheel.                                                      (3). If I tell you a traffic law that you did not know, do not justify your displeasure or disagreement with the traffic law by telling me that you think the law is stupid. Traffic laws are not subject to your approval or mine.  What you or I think of them is meaningless.  The only reason people think a traffic law is stupid is because they do not have the information or cognitive ability to understand why it exists.                          (4). If I instruct you to do something, do not tell me why you refuse to do it. I am putting my life in your hands and if you are going to view my instructions as mere suggestions that you will follow only if you agree and approve, then I am only as safe as your decision-making ability, so I quit.                                   (5).  When I am providing instructions, do not interrupt me.  I find rudeness aggravating, especially for four-hours in a row in a trapped/closed environment.                             (6). Do not try to lead the training by plummeting me with questions; just listen and learn.  This is not a four-hour Q and A session with drivers asking the questions they think they need to know or feel I am obligated to answer because I am being paid.  I am obligated to attempt to train you in accord with State standards, not yours.  Allow me to lead the training by me giving the training I think you need.  I cannot teach everything about safe-driving in four-hours, so allow me to use your time to teach you the most important things I think you need.  If I have not answered your questions by the end of training or any question about safe-driving that might arise in the future, you can email me the questions and I will respond via email at no charge to you. This offer expires when I do.

                   (7).  Do not argue or debate with me.                     

                   (8).  If you have no interest in learning anything, or lose interest along the way, have the courtesy to tell me rather than aggravate me non-stop trying to be me to shut up, and I will meet only the bare minimum standards required by my contract with the State and say no more.  I cannot think of a reason for me to work harder than required by law, if the student does not want or appreciate the effort.                                                                                 (9).  Those that are mad at the police department, the DMV, your husband, wife, boss, parents, kids or just generally an angry person, should take out their hostility on their dog or someone else, not me.  I am easy to get along with as long as I am not treated like a spittoon. 

                           (a).  "Real wisdom, God's wisdom, begins with...(being) gentle, reasonable, overflowing with mercy and blessings...not two-faced...doing the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor."   James 3:17-18 (MGS Version).    

                           (b).  If you have been diagnosed with a mental or physical abnormality that causes you to be angered easily or have a confrontational or argumentative personality, tell me in advance so I can try to work around that personality flaw.  I will not be judgmental.  I know such conditions exist and I am accustomed to working with those who struggle with these conditions.   I will be able to do my best if I know of the condition in advance.      

                  (10).  One of the most common ways of aggravating me is to use the word, "Right," to mean, "I understand," "I hear you," "I am listening," "Okay!," or to announce to me that you think, "I am right."   Can you think of any scenario in which you are in a classroom where you would stand up and say to the professor, "Right!"  No?  Please do not do that to me.             

     Imagine this discourse.  "At the next (Right, I am listening to you) traffic light (Right, I hear you), make a left turn (Right, Okay.  I understand you want me to turn left at the next traffic light and I will do that) and then make your very first right (Right on the first right).  Remember, the law requires you to stop behind the stop bar that you will see.  (Right you are about that law to stop behind the stop bar. I already knew that and you did not have to tell me that.  I am not stupid.)   

     Now read the above paragraph without reading the red words.  Even though the red words are not said, that is or could be the implication of the word, "Right," and I hear the red words in my mind.  After about 15-minutes of that I want to run screaming from the car pulling my hair out by the roots!   Please do not do that to me.  When a student says, "Right!", "Yea," "Uh-huh," "Sure," "Yep," to me over and over as filler words, I usually just stop my sentence mid sentence.  That is your gentle hint.  If that does not work, I will be more direct and ask you not to do that.

                                                        
2.  Chatterbox Fee.....................................$21        (1).  Excessive chatter does the following. 
​           (a).  It makes it more difficult for me to concentrate on the 35-driving skills needed to drive with maximum safety.
           (b).  It makes it harder for me concentrate on the driver's most pressing needs.
           (c).  It makes me nervous and causes me extra stress and increases our chances of crashing! 
                  (1).  Think about it this way.  Assume you are a teacher in a classroom session and while you are trying to teach
your class, one student chatters into the wind about a lot of non-relevant things compared to what you are trying to teach.  Would that make it more difficult to get your training assignment done?  Yes, it would.  Would it grate on your nerves?  Yes, it would.   The vehicle is my classroom, and you are my one student in my class. 
         
3.  Interrogation Fee..................................$35  

     (1).  Interrogation does not have to be violent, forceful, or include the infliction of physical pain.  A five-year old can interrogate an adult simply by asking, "Why," after every sentence an adult utters!  "Interrogation...refers to the act of questioning someone or something in a formal...manner... (or setting), (or) the process of asking someone a lot of questions for a long period of time in order to get information...." Webster's Dictionary.  The goal of this training is not for drivers to interrogate me for four-hours.              
     (2).  The goal of this training is for you to become a safer driver in only four-hours and, as a result, drive crash free for the rest of your life, including the four-hours of training.  To do that, I focus first on safety and second on making it my priority to help you overcome your most dangerous driving errors.  I cannot do those things if I am concentrating on hearing and answering a ton of questions. We will not be able to do everything, so let me lead the training by teaching rather than you try to lead the training by interrogating me.  If, after this State mandated training, you want to hire me to answer questions in person while training behind-the-wheel, call for an appointment. If you have lingering questions after the training is is over, I will be delighted to receive your email with said questions and respond by email at no charge.             

     (3).  While I want to be sociable, it is important to remember this four-hour session is, primarily, for me to teach you as many of the 35 specific safe driving skills as you need and as many of the traffic laws as I can that you do not know. I am held accountable by the State for the quality and effectiveness of my teaching. If I fail to do a good job, the State does not accept my excuse of, "He/She would not stop asking me questions, so I was not able to get to the teaching required by the State!"   Also, is a better use of time for you to listen and learn rather than question me along the way with questions that are less relevant to your most dangerous driving habits. 

          (a).  This is not a four-hour Q and A session.  I cannot get to everything in four-hours. That is not my job.  My job is to help you with your most dangerous driving habits.  I can do that if you want me to and allow me to lead the training.                               

    (4).  If I do not get to all of your questions by the end of the training, as long as I am alive and of sound mind, you can email me any questions you have and will answer them free of charge.                                                                           
4.  Poor comprehension of the Contract
which makes the driver ill-prepared for the training session and that causes consternation that would have been avoided had the driver and client carefully read the Legal Documents. In addition, it makes me have to spend time explaining basic facts of the Contract and or other legal documents and/or ignorance of how to avoid the penalty fees found in Section G of this Contract.....................................$56 to $95 depending on my determination of the degree    of poor comprehension.                                              (1)  If a student-driver or the client (if not the same person) does not exhibit, in my   (Joda Collins) opinion, sufficient evidence that he, she or they know how to avoid the penalty fees noted in this Contract that, almost always, creates a major source of difficulty when teaching.  I mandate remuneration for that added unnecessary and easily avoidable stress.  I get paid more to endure avoidable stress.                                             

       (2).  I practically beg those I serve to carefully read my Legal Documents.   About 20% of three-in-three drivers carefully read the Contract.  I consider that disrespectful towards me. 
              (a).  I get paid more to be disrespected. 
              (b).  It also increases my workload to have to explain the legal documents during training. I get paid more for working harder, especially when said extra work is easily avoided. 

               (c).  Taking time to explain the Legal Documents often follows a conflict of some kind that clarifying the Legal Documents resolves. I get paid more for enduring unnecessary and easily avoidable conflict. 
               (d).  Taking time during training to clarify the content of the Legal Documents means I have less time to devote to training to try to get done everything the State asks me to do.  That is extra pressure on me.  I get paid more to endure extra and easily avoidable pressure. 
               (e).  Having less time to train because I am explaining the content of the Legal Documents means the student is less likely to pass the State exam or less likely to pass it with an impressive score.  That failure goes against my record. I charge more for that possible negative on my record, which is the fault, not of me, but of the client and/or student.  More importantly, less training means the driver will be less safe.  That fact goes against my conscience.
       (3).  I do not like being around people that are not truthful.  Their countenance irks me.  Plainly said, my soul can smell the nauseating stench of dishonesty. People who sign the Contract testifying they have read and understood the Contact but have not read and/or do not understand the basics of it, lied.  I get paid more to be in a negative and strained atmosphere for four-hours caused by untruthful people.       

       (4).  I will ask you ten questions about the the content of the Legal Documents (Contracts Four, Five and this Contract, Contract Seven). If you cannot answer one of them correctly, you will be charged this fee.  Hints.  Pay attention to everything with a $ attached to it and everything that is underlined.  You need not memorize the fees.  You do need to know how to avoid time or incur them.  Do not misunderstand the underlined above to mean, "All you have to do is read the underlined part and the things with a $ attached to it."  It is possible to answer all 10 questions correctly and still be grossly ignorant and much of the remaining 98%.

                     
5.  Reading Assignment Failure.................$38   

      If the Student-driver is younger than        26-years of age and does not, prior to the start of the training, read the following short article or does read it but not well enough to remember the basic components or the one most important thing, such as the title or the fact of the article. Reading without basic comprehension is no different than not reading at all.  Chewing food or putting water in one's mouth and spitting it out is not eating or drinking.  Holding others responsible for said person being hungry or thirsty is idiotic.  Reading without comprehension is not reading. Trying to hold me responsible for the difficulties of such a person not reading or understanding the Legal Documents he or she agreed to is, likewise, idiotic and unacceptable at an adult level of personal interaction.  It is not business.  It is kindergarten.

If the Client and/or the Driver is less than 26 years old, prior to the start of the training, please read the article found at: 

https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/encyclopedia/content.aspx?ContentTypeID=1&ContentID=3051

If clicking on the above link or touching it on your screen does not work, you can copy and paste it to a search engine.  Problems, contact me. "I tired to find the article but could not," is not a highway out of this responsibility or this charge.  Such attempts to justify failure belong to those in elementary school, like, "My dog at my homework, therefore, I deserve a passing grade for homework assignment."     

     
6.  Failure to follow directions and/or traffic  laws (Hazard Pay).......................................$75
     (1).  Sometimes drivers do not follow my directions because:         
            (a).  Cognitive (mental) or emotional problems that are not their fault.  Disabilities or difficulties such as word processing disorder, ADD/ADhD, autism, OCD, Opposition Defiant Disorder (hates anyone in authority that makes or expects them to follow directions or protocol), and a host of other things can cause strain, stress and/or added danger during training.  I get paid for added strain, stress and/or added danger even if such is unavoidable because I am providing a service. I get paid for my service, just as my auto mechanic gets paid for his service, even if the car damage was not the vehicle repairman's fault, or the counselor would get paid for helping a person with a condition that is not the fault of the counselor.  That is just adult life.  I am less likely to apply this fee strictly when we are driving someone else's vehicle and not mine, thus putting their car, insurance, and someone's else's financial well-being at a greater risk for the rest of their life, rather than mine.  
            (b).  They think they are better-qualified drivers than me and feel obligated to ignore my directions if they disagree.   

            (c).  They blame their reflect action as they do something they want to do, rather than what I asked them to do, thus attempt to excuse that they are not following my directions on the bases that it is impossible for to do so because of their reflexes, overriding fears, arrogance towards or defiance of authority (no one is going to tell them what to do!), anger issues, distrust issues, hatefulness, narcissistic, sociopathic or psychopathic tendencies, -- and/or dislike or disagreement with the rules of the road and a commitment to dishonor those rules and replace those rules with and a commitment to honor the student's personal rules, thus mandating by word or deed that I honor their personal rules, or so-called reflex action without challenge, and not expect adherence to traffic laws or that they drive safely.  Some play the, "I did not know because I was confused and bewildered so I cannot be held responsible for my word, because I am an ignorant person."  Wrong!  Any person that does have the ability to understand the Contacts, let me know BEFORE AGREEING TO THEM AND BEFORE SCHEDULING and I will make them much easier to understand.  I does require the Client/Driver to identify the sections he or she is unable to comprehend and put into coherent words their question.  I will not rewrite the entire Contract because no one that can read English is incapable of understanding everything.  (gaslighting.)                        

                       (1).  Whatever the reason for failure to follow my directions, we will be in the same crash or higher chance of crashing and, if crippled or killed, just as crippled or just as dead.  Therefore, any reason for failing to follow my direction are immaterial to me.  The level of training will be below the level of commitment to following my directions, including the directions the student does not like, does not understand or does not agree with.  Safety first. I get paid $75 extra to spend time in the car with a driver who, for any reason, does not follow my directions. When my life and limb are in greater, unnecessary and added danger because of the shortcomings of others, I charge more.  My life is worth, at least, $75.00.  The stress the student-driver puts me under by riding with a driver who is emotionally or psychologically unable or unwilling, or willing but does not so do, to drive safely and/or in accord with my instruction is worth at least $75 in hazard pay, and more if it is my vehicle and my business the driver puts at unnecessary risk.  
            (k).  The following things should be understood before the start of training.     
                   (1).  One of us has to be nervous when I give a driving direction that the student-driver disagrees with or is uncomfortable following.  Either I have to be nervous because the student-driver does not follow my directions, and we have a higher chance of crashing, or the student-driver has to be nervous and follow my directions and we face a lower chance of crashing.  I opt for the second scenario.             
                   (2).  I am probably better-qualified to keep us safe on the open road than the student-driver is.  If the student-driver only follows the directions and instructions I give when he or she wants to or agrees, then we are only as safe as the decision-making ability and the driving skill level of the student-driver.  If the student-driver follows my directions and instructions even when he or she disagrees with me, then we are as safe as my decision-making and my diving skill.  Student-drivers that believe they are authorized or welcome to override my directions/instructions are invited not to take lessons from me.  One mistake on the open road can cost everyone, everything.  Driver training is not a game.  The goal is not having fun or just getting it over with.                                            (a).  If it becomes apparent that my student is an overall safer driver than me, I will ask the student to use the remaining time to train me to be a better driver, refund all fees paid to me and cheerfully pay the Student $200 per hour for his or her service to me.       

   
7.  Failure to allow me to have control of my    vehicle upon request..................................$15                                                           per failure.  
     (1).  I will clarify, at the start of training, how       to do relinquish control of my vehicle to me.

8.  Credit/Debit Card Charge Denial 
Response AFTER the Training is completed.....................................................$25

9.  PARKING IN THE WRONG PLACE.....$24  

This Contract directs those that meet me at 3804 Garcon Point Road, unless having a handicapped sign hanging legally in their vehicle, to park in any space that faces the side of the building.  This is the business manager's request.  This is true even if you buy something in the store or at the pump or if 100% of the parking spaces facing the front of the building are empty when you arrive.  I use this business for many meetings. Management has asked me to have my students park facing the side of the building.  Failing to do that puts me in a bad light with the business management and jeopardizes my free use of the property for business meetings.  For that ill-at-ease condition and jeopardizing my good working relationship with that business, I charge $24 as a financial encouragement to be considerate for those who, my nature or choice, are not.

                          
10.  THE CLIENT'S INABILITY TO PRODUCE,  IN PERSON, THE PHYSICAL CHARGE OR DEBIT CARD AT THE START OF THE TRAINING...................................................$32      (1). You, the Client, must produce the credit or debit card you used to pay any fees; this must be done, in person, at the start of your training session.  If you do not have that card in your possession, or are not present a the start of the training, the training will not occur, and you will forfeit (or be charged $320.00) for this missed lesson.       

11.  If using your vehicle, failure to provide the Registration information ..............................$22
            
12.  Poor control of the accelerator.............$40  

     (1).  Accelerate slowly and gracefully, in a manner that does not through my head back (no g-forces) upon acceleration more than three times in the training session and avoid this fee.  No matter how fast you drive or how fast you accelerate, we will end up at the start location at the designated time. Jackrabbit (aggressive) acceleration causes me to pull muscles in my neck and back.  It is painful and if severe enough may cause me to cancel your lesson and reschedule at YOUR expense.  Accelerate as your great, great grandmother might.  Accelerate as if you just picked me up from the hospital with a neck brace on after neck surgery and the doctor told you to drive without hurting my neck.  If I have to ask you to accelerate less aggressively more than twice, you can assume this fee is lost.  If you are aggressive with the accelerator, I will try to remember to remind you often.  However, the primary responsibility to remember to accelerate gracefully is yours.  As an experienced driver with normal IQ, you should be able to accelerate gracefully without constant reminders to do so.                                     (2).  Do not pump the accelerator or use it as an off and on switch, as it puts me in four-hours of neck discomfort.  Unless traffic conditions mandate otherwise, think in terms of apply and reducing the pressure on the accelerator at the width of a piece of paper so acceleration is graceful to begin with and consistent when traveling at desired speed. The vehicle should not feel like being in a mini-roller coaster to passengers.

13.  Poor control of the brake (stopping in         a manner that throws my head forward)......$45

SECTION 8.  ADDRESSING THE THREE ELEPHANTS IN THE ROOM. 

                    https://writingtips.org/the-elephant-in-the- room/#what_does_the_elephant_in_the_room_mean
     A. IMMATURITY/CHILDISHNESS

          The majority (not all, and hopefully not you) of three-in-three drivers, in my opinion and in my 17-years of experience, have not been very good people. They have been argumentative, passive-aggressive personalities, narcissistic, not truthful, fail to assume responsibility for their own actions, mad at the world and everyone in it, have an overriding sense of entitlement, gaslighters, and/or are unteachable. "Never correct conceited (arrogant) people; they will hate you for it.  But if you correct the wise, they will respect you."  Proverbs 9:8.  (Parenthesis mine, Joda Collins.)  I did not state your name.  I will assuming you are a decent individual unless you prove me wrong.             
     The majority of my three-in-three drivers, to date, have not read this Contract carefully nor expended the time and energy to get their questions answered before agreeing to it and are, therefore, unprepared for the training appointment.  Being unprepared for the training they tend to get confused, frustrated and/or angered.  
    It has been my experience that about 70% to 80% of three-in-three drivers have been quite immature and treated me like arrogant, disrespectful, snotty, know-it-all teens treat their parents.  Unlike many parents, I did not put up with that with my children. I will not tolerate it, now, from adults.  I am not being paid to be spit on, so to speak. I hope you are part of the 20% to 30% that are not like that. If you are like that, try to fake adult level socially maturity/behavior for four-hours.  I prefer fake good behavior to real, nasty, behavior.
   B.  DISRESPECT/ARROGANCE

         Be decent and respectful towards me and and I will be decent and respectful towards you. Do not antagonize me for fun or as an expression of your character, and there is no reason for me to confront you for antagonizing me. However, if you antagonize me, I will confront you for doing so.  I am not a spittoon nor a door mat. The training is not easy for student-drivers. I understand that. It is not easy for me either.  If you have no interest in learning to drive better, or want me to stop teaching, I will honor that. Just let me know so I can save my breath and energy and provide only my bare legal minimum effort.  There is no reason nor benefit to either one of us to try to do more?  It only leads to both of us becoming  student becoming aggravated.  Four-hours is a long time to try to fake genuine interest in working hard to learn to be a better driver.  It is better and easier to just be honest and say, "I am not interested in learning anything."

    C.  UNTEACHABLE/ARGUMENTATIVE  

          After I correct you and explain why what you did behind-the-wheel was unsafe or illegal, please do not provide justification, rationalization or argument regarding why you drive poorly or in violation of traffic laws. Confronting or attacking me about your dislike of traffic laws just eats up time, creates a strained environment and changes nothing regarding your situation with your license status and I will charge you more for the added stress, irritation, danger and for wasting training time and my energy. I do not endure an argumentative person for free.

SECTION 9. CERTIFICATION AND STATE RECORDING OF YOUR TRAINING.
     A.  Certification of completion of your training is accomplished electronically between me and the State.  You will not need and will not receive a paper copy of your completion notice.  I will notify you when your completion is recorded by the State and then you can contact your local driver license office to schedule.  If I do not contact you within three business days, it is your responsibility to contact me to find out why the delay in the State recording of your completion. 
     B.  You, the Client (financially responsible person), commit to checking your email and your voice mail for a contact from me no less than once every 24-hours from the date of your first contact with me until our business is completed, and one hour before your scheduled training appointment.
                                                                            SECTION 10.  DISCLAIMERS                           
     A.  I (Joda Collins) may not offer another  door-to-door service if the Client cancels, misses, reschedules training or is not able to take the training due to no fault of mine.  
     B.  Please understand that those I serve can ask me to do anything for them, however, those I serve are not in a position to demand that I do everything they demand or ask.           
     C.   I, the Client and, I, the Student-driver, will not hold nor attempt to hold Joda Collins responsible or accountable for any ramifications, financial or otherwise, that arise because I did not read or did not understand the content or intent of any legal document.
     D.  Additional disclaimers, as noted in Contract Four, also apply.
     E.  It is my (Joda Collins) responsibility to verify your license is valid or you have the valid letter from the State that serves as your temporary permit for the training before providing training.        
           (1). Errors or expense to you of any and every kind due to you not knowing if your driver license is or is not valid are your expenses, not mine. 
            (2).    IF YOUR DRIVER LICENSE IS NOT VALID OR WILL NOT BE VALID AT THE TIME OF TRAINING, PROVIDE THE ORIGINAL OF YOUR DRIVER PERMIT (LETTER) THAT AUTHORIZES YOU TO DRIVE FOR THE FOUR-HOURS OF TRAINING.   IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THAT DOCUMENT, CALL 850 617-2000 ANY NON-HOLIDAY WEEKDAY BETWEEN 7:01 AND 7:05AM (TO AVOID LONG HOLD TIMES) AND REQUEST THAT DOCUMENT/LETTER.
     F.  I am not an employee of the State of Florida. I have nothing to do with any driver's arrangements or association with the State of Florida.  I will not assume any responsibility that arises as a result of any other person's association or business with any Driver License Office, State of Florida or any agency of the State of Florida.

SECTION 12: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    A.   It is possible that additional charges will apply as clarified in Section 7 below of this Contract, however, additional fees, beyond this the total pre-training fees will not exceed $176 more than your total pre-training fees.     
    B.  Any remittance will be mailed to you within two non-holiday weekdays along with an itemization of charges and/or remittance.                 C.  It is embarrassing when a long-time driver cannot drive well enough to pass the State exam, an exam that a 16-year-old new driver passes!  New drivers are committed to learning what it takes to pass the State exam because they fear failure.   They are nervous and work hard to pass it.   Experience drivers are often cocky and overconfident and have no fear of failing the exam, so they do not prepare for it.  When they cannot change lanes safely, do not keep the rules of the road, and/or cannot park or do a three-point turn in accord with the State law requirements (which is more than just being able to drive without crashing during the exam), they fail the State exam.  That is not a good mark on my record as a professional driving instructor.  Therefore, I try to help a driver be able to change lanes, drive safety, park and do a three-point turn, as least well enough compared to a 16-year-old that has done the necessary homework and memory.     
    D.  Because of test anxiety, I encourage a driver to memorize well enough to quote the steps for a safe lane change and the three-point turn without hesitation or error and upon my first request.  I am willing to pay my 3/3 student drivers to do so.  Otherwise, the driver, not knowing the procedure well, will likely not remember the steps during the testing (test anxiety).             
    E.  Before training, very few can pass the safe lane procedure, the three-point turn or the parking procedures AS REQUIRED BY STRICTEST REQUIREMENTS THE STATE.  Not all State examiners adhere to the strictest requirements of the State exam.  Again, just because a person completes the State exam without crashing does not mean said person will pass the State exam.  A driver might be able to drive 70mph in a residential zone with both eyes closed during the State exam without crashing, but he or she would fail the exam.  A driver might be able to run every red light during the State exam without crashing, but will not pass the State exam just because they did not crash during the State exam.                            F.  If a driver cannot remember the steps for changing lanes, parking and three-point turn, the necessary time to memorize those steps during training is required.  I have spent all four-hours with some drivers who never got out of the parking lot because it took them four-hours to learn the steps for these procedures.  They finished their training just as dangerous on the open road as they were when they started training with me.  Not good!                             
    G.  Less than 2% of three-in-three drivers memorize the steps for the three-point turn or the safe-lane procedure before the start of their training.  This is, I think, because older people have lost much of the ability to memorize without a lot of effort and most older people lack the motivation to give a lot of effort to do so. And, some older people do not know what the definition of "memorize" is.  I hope you are part of the 2% that remembers how to memorize, gives the effort and can define the word, "memorize."  

    H.  Why do I write that most 3-in-3 drivers I have served have not been very good people. It is because about 80% of the 400 or so 3-in-3 drivers I have served have had three or more of the following serious personality flaws. In the following I am not seeking to be critical.  I am relating my opinion based on years of real-life experience.

          1.  Dishonest.

          2.  Narcissistic.

          3.  Entitlement.

          4.  Argumentative.

          5.  Irrational.

          6.  Do not listen well, on purpose (it seems to me). 

          7.  Oppositional Defiant Disorder.

          8.  Do not assume responsibility for their actions, other than say, "I apologize," or "I'm sorry," as a defense for their easily avoidable failures, which they purposefully continue to do.

          9.  Are nice and cooperative until they do not get their way.

         10.  They think they are exempt from the traffic laws they do not like or do not understand.

          11.  Do not seem interested in functioning in the real world in an adult manner.

          12. Have what I call a "Yea, Yea, so shut up," attitude.  They say, "Yea, Yea," but they mean, "Shut up." 

           13.  They have the words that they want to become safer drivers, and they have the facade behavior that they are interested, but they have no real/sincere interest in learning to become a safer driver.

           14.  They blame others or the weather for their crashes.

            15.  They believe they have little or nothing more (or significant) to learn about safee driving.

            16.  Extremely lazy.

            17.  Unjustified feelings of superiority.

            18.  Anger issues.

Most people will use this Contract. Before I will quote a price/charge, I ask the Client to read this Contract carefully to gain, at least, a basic understanding of the relationship between services and charges. Doing so will help the Client determine services wanted. When services are determined and agreed upon, fees will be itemized for the Client's review and approval.

​

   CONTRACT SIX   
CHARGES AND FEES FOR 60 TO 360-MINUTE LESSONS                                                          August 26, 2025

Edited on 10/13/25 to reflect a slightly lower charge that is not retroactive to previously dated Contracts.

I suggest that as you read this, you make a written list of the parts you do not like, if any.  Feel free to ask me (Joda Collins) to change what you do not like.  I am more interested in a meeting of the minds than I am that every detail of the below information remains unchanged.  I will consider any change except for reducing my charges.                                                       If you are a 3-in-3 driver, this is NOT your Contract. See Contract Seven.  If you do not know what 3-in-3 driver is, this is probably your Contract.

I will walk you through this process one step at a time. The typical process that leads to scheduling is:
      (1).  I respond to all questions asked in               initial inquiry.

      (2).   Agreement on services.                        (3).  Agreement on Charges.                 
      (4).  Agreement on Contacts Four, Five               and Six.                                                  (5).  Payment received.          
      (6).  Scheduling

      (7).  Training

While I will make minor variations in this process to meet needs, please do not ask me to serve you out of this order.  Putting the cart in front of the horse is always unwise because doing so is a sure formula for failure, frustration, damage to the horse and cart, and a waste of everyone's time and energy.

SECTION 1:  YOUR TO THE PENNY CHARGE 
      A.  Charges are guaranteed for 30-days from the original offer in an email, 30-days from original payment for lesson one, and 90-days from the completion of the most recent paid for lesson.                    
      B.  Because charges are tied to services, and services are varied, a one-price quote fits all is not possible.  If you answer the following questions, I will provide a to-the-penny quote. In all that follows, the first option costs less.

      C.  It is very important that you get a fair idea of the content of this Contract in full, before submitting the answers to the questions below.  Doing so, will avoid confusion, difficulties, added effort and lost time.  You need not have a 100% understanding of everything in this Contract before submitting the answers to these questions.  One slow and careful read is sufficient for now.

      D.  Charges are based on a client's selection of optional services and charges are linked to services. To get a fee quote, provide the following information by email to jodacollins@aol.com.  You can copy and paste this section to an email, or you can simply type in the letters such as b, d, e, g j, m, p. 

            (1).  Responses n and q do require filling in the blank.

      E.  You can change your mind about anything below, later.
            1.  Will you be using your insured vehicle or the Joda Collins Driving Academy vehicle for over-the-road training?  The driver must be insured to drive the vehicle, not just the vehicle insured. If your license is not valid, no Insurance company, that I know of, insures unlicensed drivers.                                       
                a.  The Client's insured vehicle.                    b.  The Joda Collins Driving Academy Vehicle.

            2.  Will you be using your insured vehicle or the Joda Collins Driving Academy vehicle for parking and/or three-point turn training?                                                        c.  The Client's insured vehicle.                    d.  The Joda Collins Driving Academy Vehicle.

            3.  Do you anticipate you will be training for the first lesson on a: 
                e.   Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday?
                f.   Or, a Friday or Saturday?

             4.  Are you the Client (financially responsible person)?  
                 g.  Yes.                                                         h.  No 

             5.  Will you be able and willing to complete all future communication about the Contract, services and fees by email, rather than by phone or voice mail?                                j. Yes                                                            k. No.

             6.  I want to begin and end lesson(s) at:
                  m.  3804 Garcon Pointe Road, Milton, 32583 (1/10th of one mile off of I-10, 6.5 miles East of Pensacola), or
                   n.  At the following address:  Number, Street/Avenue/Court/Drive, City, Zip. 

             7.  The quote for training will be for a 75-minute lesson unless you ask for a quote for more or less than 75-minutes.  Training can be anywhere between one-hour and six-hours per lesson.  Generally, the most productive time frame is between 75-minutes and two-hours.                                            (p).  I would like a quote for 75-minute lessons.   

                  (q).  I would like a quote for _____-minute lessons.

SECTION 2.  FIRST LESSON FREE TRAINING TIME LIMIT
Please set aside about 20 to 45-minutes for meet and greet, paperwork times and show and tell.  I, usually, spend a few minutes showing and telling a driver some key information  at the start of lesson one, with me behind-the-wheel.  For the first lesson only, if I state to a client and/or driver that the driver's time does not start until driver is behind-the-wheel, that means the driver's time starts when he or she first gets in the driver's seat, however, the paid training time includes all the time I am showing driving skills behind-the-wheel AFTER the driver is first behind-the-wheel.  And, after lesson one, all time, including time I am training the driver  by showing skills behind-the-wheel, is paid driving time.  I use my time behind-the-wheel to train when it most benefits the student's understanding and quicker progress.  I am behind-the-wheel when I think driver will progress faster if he/she sees the skill rather than just hears the words that define the skill, because most people learn faster and better when they can see how to do it not just be told how how to do it.                                                    
SECTION 3.  NON-BINDING ESTIMATE OF FUTURE PROGRESS
    A.  If, and only if, I invite the Client to ride and, if and only if, the Client accepts my invitation and rides for the first 15 to 20-minutes of the first lesson, I will, usually, provide a Non-binding Estimate of Future Progress
    B.  It is not easy to determine the future, especially since there are many variables outside of my control. Therefore, the Non-binding Estimate of Future Progress is not a guarantee or a prophesy.  It is my best educated guess for which I  assume no responsibility if I am wrong in by guess. However, after 17-years in this business, I am seldom off by much
    C.  Driving between lessons will probably increase number of lessons I will need to have the driver at his or her driving training goal because it breaks the continuity of the training, and usually gives me more correction to administer as most students are taught  the bad driving habits by others, do not correct many bad driving habits, or correct them out of sequence since not every bad driving habit can be corrected at one time.  All of the above, add professional driving time.  If the driver is licensed and driving alone, he or she will not be trained well enough in skills not yet learned to practice them correctly.  Perfect practice makes perfect.  Imperfect practice equals more money and time in professional training to overcome  solidifying bad driving habits practiced between lessons.
    D.  If there are any learning disabilities or obstacles, including but not limited to ADHD, I did not know about before I provide the Non-binding Estimate of Future Progress, the Non-binding Estimate of Future Progress is null and void. 

SECTION 4:  AFTER LESSON WRITTEN REPORT                   

A.  After lesson reports can vary a great deal from lesson to lesson for the following reasons.
         (1).  The mood and/or concentration of the Student-driver.
         (2).  Traffic conditions.
         (3).  Weather conditions.
         (4).  Regression of the driver.
         (5).  Sudden spurts of driver improvement that may or may not carry on to the next lesson.
         (6).  The route chosen to drive.
         (7).  More....
                (a).  Reports are intended to give a general overview of progress, not a guarantee that the abilities noted in any lesson under direction, are abilities that have become habit.  Being able to do a skill under direction, is not the same thing as being able to do it as a habit.  Habits are established by repetition not by the  occasional victory or the ability to follow directions only when/at the time directions are given.                                                                
SECTION 5:  USE OF VEHICLE FOR PERSONAL USE
I do not loan or rent my vehicle for other's personal use, including to take the State driving exam.                

                   
SECTION 6. FINANCIAL MATTERS

A.  PAYMENT POLICY          
      (1). I sometimes require full payment for lesson one before scheduling.  If you are not asked to prepay for lesson one, the total for lesson one is due at the start of lesson one.
      (2).  If the Client is 26-years of age or younger, I may and I reserve the right to require payment in advance of any or all scheduling.

     (3). Unless otherwise informed, non-credit or debit payments for lesson two and following can be made at the start of each lesson or any scheduled lesson(s) can be paid for in advance AFTER the completion of lesson one.  After lesson one is completed, unless otherwise agreed on, I accept scheduling and payment for up to six more lessons or two months in advance, whichever is less.         
                    
B.  REFUND POLICY                 
      (1).  To secure a full refund of unused funds, excluding money paid for services already render and money not refundable by contractual agreement, the Client must provide a minimum two-hour notice.                         (a).  The Registration Fee and Scheduling Fee (noted as non-refundable) are non-refundable because they are payment for services already provided.

C.  REMOVED.
                                                  
D.  FEES AND FEE CALCULATIONS ARE PER STUDENT, not per client. 

      1.  For example, a man could not enroll his wife for four classes, 90-days apart for a year, then his son for a lesson every 90-days for the second year, then one of his four grandchildren for one lesson every 90-days for year three, the second grandchild for year four, the third grandchild for a year five, and so on without a price increase.  

      2.  Neither could the man use more than one driver to constitute financial stacked benefits.

E.  THE NEED FOR CUT AND PASTE FROM ANY LEGAL DOCUMENT OR PREVIOUS EMAIL.

      1.  The most difficult part of my job is not behind-the-wheel training but trying to work with Clients that have do not carefully read the Legal Documents (Contracts and Attachment by Date to Contracts), therefore, said Client ask me the questions that were clearly covered in the Legal Document (Contracts and Attachments by Date).  This consumes my time and is very frustrating.  

      2.  I do charge for the service of cutting and pasting from Legal Documents (Contracts and/or Attachments by date).  The charge is $10 per email from me in response to questions already answered in the Contracts and/or Attachments by Date.

F.  CHARGES FOR LESSON ONE 

     1.  If you are training on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and not a Friday or Saturday, using one hour lessons, do not need door-to-door service, are paying with a cashier's check or money order, will do all communication about fees, service and scheduling by email ONLY, and are using your vehicle for all training the first lesson is $198 and each lesson thereafter is $149.00.

    2.  The fees noted contain a 7% discount if you are paying with a money order, cashier's check, or (if approved) a personal or business check) rather than a card (Visa or MasterCard accepted). Multiply all payments by 1.0752853 to calculate payments with a Visa or MasterCard. 
    (1). Registration Fee.........................$49            (a).   Non-refundable, one-time charge for administration expense

relative to registering and enrolling

student in training.

      (2)  If there is more than one        Client  (financially responsible
person) there is an additional one-time charge of $40.00. If there is
only one Client, enter $0. ($40 or $0?)............................................,,....$_____
              (a).  This covers the additional
admin expense. This fee is not refundable.
It is a one-time charge.

       (3). If the Student-driver and the        Client (financially responsible person or Agency) are NOT the same person, and in addition, the Client does NOT live in the same            residence as the Student- driver,          enter $18 on this line. Otherwise,          enter zero dollars on this line. ($18            or $0?). This is a one time fee.....$_____

       (4). If the Client does not have/use  email, this requires a lot of additional

admin work for which a one-time         

non-refundable charge of $100        applies. If the Client does not have an email address, enter $100 on this    line. If the Client does have an email      and will use it, for all (100%) communication regarding the     Contract(s), fees or scheduling,            after my first contact with the Client enter zero dollars on this line.              ($100 or $0?).................................$_____               (a).   This one-time fee, covers

                (a).  This is a one-time charge.

      (6).  Insurance Verification Fee
If any vehicle other than the                  Joda Collins Driving Academy          vehicle is used for training, I verify          the Student-driver is covered by          your insurance policy.  The fee for          this service is $9.00. Enter $9 or               $0 on this line................................$_____                (a).  This is a one-time charge.

and/or Re-scheduling.............................$25
           (a).  This $25 fee is non-refundable and non-transferable to any other date, time or person. Under most conditions, I will not schedule more than one lesson to start.  I will, however, do my best to keep    my calendar clear for all dates/times            requested in advance.   This means there is a $25 savings for two lessons, $50 for three, $75 for four, $100 for five, and $125 for six lessons that are scheduled with one email, paid for with one payment and not missed, cancelled or rescheduled for any reason other than fear of adverse weather for which, at least, a one-hour notice is provided.

                (a).  This is your total

without the 7% discount for paying           by cashier's check or money order 

and not with a card (Visa, Master-

 H.  THE CHARGE FOR LESSON TWO AND FOLLOWING.

       (1).  Lesson two and following is the total of the dollar amounts in 8 through 17 plus $25 for every scheduling request for one to six lessons with one scheduling request.  Calculations for that charge are the totals of 8 through 17 above, plus $25 registration fee for one to six lessons scheduled with one email.

              (a).  The least expensive charge for a lesson, after rebate is applied, is $157.16 for a one-hour lesson plus any door-to-door fees.  This assumes six lessons are scheduled with one email.  Each lesson is $157.17, all lessons are paid for with one payment ($157.17 times six) of $943.00.  This fee does not include door-to-door service.  Rescheduling any lesson for any reason other than fear of adverse weather for which at least a one-hour notice is provided, will incur a $25 Rescheduling Fee.   A refund for any missed lesson for which this reduced charge applies will incur a $25 fee. 

J.  REBATE POLICY FOR LESSONS OF, AT LEAST, 75-MINUTES IN DURATION.  
       (1).   Rebates are calculated on:

               (a).  A per student basis, not on a per client basis.  Multiple drivers paid for by the same client are not allowed to combine student lessons for Rebate purposes.

               (b).  For lesson of 75-to 360-minutes in length.  Sixty-minute lessons do not qualify for a Rebate. There is not enough profit in a 60-minute lesson to justify a Rebate.  

              (c).  A per lesson basis not on a per minute basis.  For example, three 90-minute lessons do not earn a larger per lesson Rebate compared to three 75-minute lessons since my (Joda Collins) savings is based on scheduling (administration) savings.

              (d).  The first lesson does not count for Rebate purposes.

       (2).  Beginning any time after lesson one:

               (a).  Schedule all lessons with one email request, and -

               (b).  All lessons are at least 75-minutes long, and -

               (c).  All scheduled lessons are paid pay for with one payment, and -

               (d).  None of those lessons are missed, canceled or rescheduled for any reason, including a reason that is not your fault or unavoidable, except for fear of adverse weather for which a notice of at least one-hour is provided, shall receive the below designated Rebate/Refund at the start of the last lesson in that series of lessons: 
             (a).  One lesson = $0       
             (b).  Two lessons = $7
             (c).  Three lessons = $15          

             (d).  Four lessons = $25               

             (e).  Five lessons = $35.

             (f).  Six or more lessons = $10 per lesson.

                    (1).  The reason Rebates are not offered for lessons that are missed, even if not anyone's fault, is that Rebates are based on administrative savings, and missed lesson incur extra administrative effort/work no matter the reason the lesson is missed.  That is just life in the adult world. For example, if you miss your plane because of a traffic jam and you have a non-refundable ticket, you miss you plane and forfeit your money.  The discounted ticket has strict limitations that need to be understood before purchase.  When I am paid by a Client that money is mine.  Rebates are funded using my earned money.  My policies for giving away my money have strict limitations that need to be understood before entering into an agreement for how you can receive some of my earned income.  In effect, I am hiring you to perform a service for me. 

K.  ME (JODA COLLINS) BEHIND THE WHEEL DURING YOUR TRAINING.

     (1).  For lesson one, I often begin with me behind-the-wheel doing show and tell that helps the driver start the training with knowledge that makes the first lesson easier for the student-driver.  Only for lesson one, the student-driver's time does not begin until he or she is behind-the-wheel.  After the student-driver is behind-the-wheel during lesson one, all training time counts as paid training time, including the time I am behind-the-wheel training. 

     (2).  All training time that I am behind-the-wheel for lessons two and following is considered paid driving time. 

            (a).  After the driver is behind the wheel for the first time (during training), I (Joda Collins) will be behind-the-wheel when:

                   (1).  I think the driver would benefit most if I showed the driver the skill that I am asking the driver to perform/learn.  Most people understand and learn better by seeing something one rather than just being told words on how to do it.  "A picture is worth a thousand words."  Show and tell is a picture with words.  Tell, is words without a picture.

                 (2).  Safety demand it.  Safety first.
