Somebody told me that I can skip out of attending a driver training school if my parents give me behind-the-wheel training instead. Is that permissible in California?
Each state has its own rules regarding driver training. Some states will allow parentally-supervised behind-the-wheel training as a substitute for attending a behind-the-wheel training course which is taught by a professional driving instructor. However, not all states allow this. You should contact the California DMV to find out for sure.
I can't operate a manual-shift. Will America's Driving School allow me to complete my driver training on an automatic-shift vehicle?

I live in a very remote area, where there are mountains and a lot of unpaved roads. Do you know if America's Driving School teaches students how to drive in rural areas like where I live instead of just driving on smooth, paved roads in city areas?
