Eagle Driving InstituteFAQ's
Eagle Driving Institute's address and phone number is listed on your webpage. How can I know for sure if it is an approved driver training school in New York?
Even though we provide a list of driver 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 New York DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses. We strongly suggest that you contact Eagle Driving Institute directly or check with the New York DMV to find out for sure if Eagle Driving Institute is a licensed school.
Do you know if I can do my driver training with my mother or father instead of attending a behind-the-wheel training course like the ones offered by Eagle Driving Institute?
Some states allow teen-agers to complete their driver training with their parents instead of attending a professional driving school. We recommend that you contact the New York DMV or Eagle Driving Institute directly to find out if New York allows parent-taught driver training.
What if I don't know how to operate a vehicle with a stick-shift? Does Eagle Driving Institute have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll allow me train with?
Since you're just learning how to drive, you probably don't know how to operate either a manual-shift or an automatic-shift vehicle! However, if you have a preference as to a stick or an automatic, you probably should call Eagle Driving Institute to see if they can accommodate your request prior to your enrolling in their behind-the-wheel training course.
I live in a very rural area, where there are mountains and a lot of dirt roads. Do you know if Eagle Driving Institute offers training for driving in rural areas like where I live instead of just driving on smooth, paved roads in urban areas?
Since you live in a rural area, a local driving school such as Eagle Driving Institute will tailor your driver training to handle the conditions in your area.
Can I get my New York learner's permit once I turn 14?
Most likely, no. Most states have set the minimum age to obtain a learner's permit at 15 or 15½. You may want to contact the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a certified driving instruction school like Eagle Driving Institute to learn more about the minimum age requirement in New York.
Do I have to complete a Yonkers New York drivers education classroom course or online course before enrolling in one of Eagle Driving Institute's driver training courses?
Each state has its own laws, but most states will require first-time drivers to take both a behind-the-wheel training course plus either a drivers education classroom course (which are about 30 hours in length) or an approved online defensive driving course. You may want to ask Eagle Driving Institute if they offer one or both programs.
