Coastal Driving Services, Inc.FAQ's
Coastal Driving Services, Inc.'s address and phone number is listed on your webpage. How can I know for sure if it is an approved behind the wheel training school in Texas?
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 certified by the Texas DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses. We strongly suggest that you contact Coastal Driving Services, Inc. directly or check with the Texas DMV to find out for sure if Coastal Driving Services, Inc. is a licensed school.
Could I just have my mother or father teach me how to drive instead of paying money to take a professional driver training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which permit you to complete your behind-the-wheel training with a parent or guardian instead of attending 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 ask your state's DMV office to find out if your parent or guardian can fill the role as your behind-the-wheel driving instructor.
Do I need to tell Coastal Driving Services, Inc. that I need to train with an automatic-shift car? I don't know how to drive a stick-shift car.
Most new drivers don't know how to operate either a stick-shift OR and automatic-shift car! We recommend that you ask Coastal Driving Services, Inc. if you can complete your driver training using an automatic-shift automobile before you register for their driver training course.
I live in a very rural area, where there are mountains and a lot of dirt roads. Do you know if Coastal Driving Services, Inc. teaches students how to drive in rural areas like where I live instead of just driving on smooth, paved roads in urban areas?
Since you live in a remote area, a local driving school such as Coastal Driving Services, Inc. will tailor your behind-the-wheel training to handle the conditions in your area.
After I turn 14, will I be eligible to get my learner's permit so I can begin to learn how to drive?
It depends on which state you live in, however most states unfortunately require you to be at least 15 (or sometimes 15 1/2) before you can be issued a instruction permit. We suggest that you contact a local driver training school such as Coastal Driving Services, Inc. or the Texas DMV office to learn more about the minimum age requirement for driving in Texas.
Do you know if the laws in Texas require new teen-aged drivers to successfully complete a driver training course in addition to a drivers education classroom or online course?
The laws vary from state to state, but many states do require you to take a behind-the-wheel training course with "hands-on" practice in addition to a drivers education classroom or online course.
