Do I have to take a driver training course? Can't my parents just give me my driver training?
There are some states that do allow parents or guardians to provide their teen-aged kids' required behind-the-wheel 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.
Do I need to tell Driving School, Inc that I need to train with an automatic-shift car? I don't know how to operate a manual-shift vehicle.
Most new drivers don't know how to operate either a manual-shift OR and automatic-shift automobile! We recommend that you ask Driving School, Inc if you can complete your behind-the-wheel training using an automatic-shift vehicle before you register for their driver training course.

If I'm 14, can I get an instruction permit to drive in Virginia?
