247 Driver EdFAQ's
247 Driver Ed's address and phone number is listed on your webpage. How can I find out if it is an approved driver training school in California?
Even though we provide a list of behind-the-wheel training schools on our website, we have no way of knowing for sure as to whether or not a particular school is licensed by the California DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses. We strongly suggest that you contact 247 Driver Ed directly or check with the California DMV to find out for sure if 247 Driver Ed is a licensed school.
Do I have to take a behind-the-wheel training course? Can't my parents just give me my behind-the-wheel training?
There are some states that do allow parents or guardians to provide their teen-aged kids' required driver training in order to obtain a driver's license. However many states do not allow any type of substitution for attending a professionally-taught driver training course. We suggest you contact your state's DMV to find out what the laws are in your state regarding hands-on driving instruction.
I have no clue how to drive a manual-shift vehicle. What happens if 247 Driver Ed makes me train on a manual-shift vehicle?
Considering the fact you are a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about operating ANY type of vehicle....stick OR automatic! If you prefer to do your hands-on driver training with an automatic-shift vehicle, you may want to call 247 Driver Ed and let them know before you sign up to take their behind-the-wheel training course. That way you'll know for certain whether 247 Driver Ed can accommodate you before you pay them any money.
I live out in the middle of nowhere. There are rural and mountain roads all around. Will 247 Driver Ed teach me how to drive in BOTH rural AND city areas?
If you live in a rural or mountain town, chances are that a local driving school like 247 Driver Ed will include behind-the-wheel driver training specifically tailored to that terrain.
Are 14-year-olds allowed to apply for a learner's permit in California?
Although a few states allow teen-agers to begin practicing how to drive at 14, most states have set the youngest age for which to hold an instruction permit at either 15 or 15½. You will need to contact the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driving school like 247 Driver Ed to find out what the minimum age for driving is in California.
Will I be required to register for both a drivers education classroom or online course and a driver training course in Canoga Park California?
