ABC Driver SchoolFAQ's
Are all the driving schools listed on your website fully-certified by the Texas DMV to offer driver training courses in Texas?
The driving school directory on our website is for your convenience only, and we cannot absolutely guarantee that every driving school listed is currently accredited to offer driving training courses in Texas. We suggest you contact the Texas DMV to make sure a particular driving school is licensed before you enroll in their driving course.
Could I just have my mother or father teach me how to drive instead of paying money to enroll in a professional behind-the-wheel training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which permit you to complete your hands-on driver training with a parent or guardian instead of enrolling in a professional driving school. However many states require that first-time drivers take a professionally-taught behind-the-wheel training course. We recommend that you check with your state's DMV office to find out if your parent or guardian can fill the role as your behind-the-wheel driving instructor.
I have no clue how to drive a stick-shift vehicle. What happens if ABC Driver School makes me train on a stick-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 behind-the-wheel training with an automatic-shift vehicle, you may want to call ABC Driver School and let them know before you enroll in their behind-the-wheel training course. That way you'll know for sure whether ABC Driver School will be able to accommodate you before you pay them any money.
I live out in the middle of nowhere. There are rural and mountain roads everywhere. Will ABC Driver School teach me how to drive in BOTH rural AND city areas?
If you live in a rural or mountain community, chances are that a local driving instruction institute like ABC Driver School will include behind-the-wheel driver training specifically tailored to that terrain.
Are 14-year-olds allowed to obtain a learner's permit in Texas?
Although a few states allow teen-agers to begin practicing how to drive at 14, most states have set the minimum age for which to hold an instruction permit at either 15 or 15½. You will need to contact the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a certified driving instruction company like ABC Driver School to find out what the minimum age for driving is in Texas.
