Andy's Driving SchoolFAQ's
Can you tell me if Andy's Driving School is a certified driver training school in New York?
Although Andy's Driving School is listed on our list of driving schools in your area, we are unable to say with certainty as to whether they are currently approved to teach behind-the-wheel training courses in New York. We recommend either calling Andy's Driving School directly or the New York DMV to find out whether or not Andy's Driving School offers behind-the-wheel training courses that are state-approved.
I heard that parents can fill the role of driving instructor in New York, so taking a Tonawanda driver training course like the one Andy's Driving School offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the New York DMV or a licensed driving school like Andy's Driving School and ask them. While parent-taught driving instruction is permitted in some states, many states do NOT allow it.
What happens if I don't know how to operate a manual-shift vehicle? Will Andy's Driving School allow me to do my driver training with an automatic-shift car?
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about driving any type of car--manual-shift or automatic-shift! However, if you prefer to complete your driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact Andy's Driving School and let them know before you register for their driver training course. That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.
The area in which I live is mostly undeveloped--very few paved roads and mountains are all around. Will Andy's Driving School be able to teach me how to drive safely on rugged terrain as well as in a city or town?
Considering that you live in a remote area, chances are excellent that a local driving school like Andy's Driving School will want you to be able to drive safely on dirt roads and other types of rugged terrain. You may wish to contact Andy's Driving School to find out exactly what their driver training course includes before registering for their training course.
I just turned 14 years old. Can I apply for my learner's permit in New York?
Probably not. The minimum age requirement for holding an instruction permit in most states is 15 1/2. You should contact the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driver training institute such as Andy's Driving School to find out more information about the minimum age requirement in New York.
Can I take Andy's Driving School's behind-the-wheel training course before taking a Tonawanda New York defensive driving classroom course or online course?
It depends on what New York's laws prescribe. However, you should know that most states will require teen-aged, first-time drivers to complete both a drivers education classroom course (which are approximately 30 hours in length, depending on New York's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved driver training course. We recommend that you contact Andy's Driving School directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
