Fiesta Defensive DrivingFAQ's
Can you tell me if Fiesta Defensive Driving is a certified driver training school in Texas?
Although Fiesta Defensive Driving 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 Texas. We recommend either calling Fiesta Defensive Driving directly or the Texas DMV to find out whether or not Fiesta Defensive Driving offers driver training courses that are state-approved.
Could I just have my mother or father give me my behind-the-wheel training instead of paying money to attend a professional driver training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which allow you to do your hands-on driver training with a parent or guardian instead of attending a professional driving school. However many states require that new drivers take a professionally-taught driver training course. We recommend that you check with your state's DMV office to find out if your parent or guardian can fill the role as your behind-the-wheel driving instructor.
What if I don't know how to drive a stick-shift automobile? Does Fiesta Defensive Driving have automatic-shift vehicles that I can drive when I do my driver training?
If you're taking a Houston Texas behind-the-wheel training class, chances are you don't know how to drive ANY vehicle yet-- stick or automatic. However, if you prefer an automatic vehicle then you should tell Fiesta Defensive Driving that prior to registering for the course in order to make sure they can accommodate you.
I live in a very rural area, where there are mountains and a lot of unpaved roads. Do you know if Fiesta Defensive Driving 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 rural area, a local driving school such as Fiesta Defensive Driving will tailor your driver training to handle the conditions in your area.
Can I get my Texas instruction permit once I turn 14?
Most likely, no. Most states have set the youngest age to obtain an instruction permit at 15 or 15½. You may want to contact the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a certified driving instruction school like Fiesta Defensive Driving to learn more about the minimum age requirement in Texas.
Am I required to take a Houston Texas classroom or online drivers education course before I can register for a behind-the-wheel training course through Fiesta Defensive Driving?
This requirement varies from state to state but most states do mandate pre-licensed drivers to take BOTH a classroom-based defensive driving course (generally 30 hours in length) AND a behind-the-wheel training course. You should ask Fiesta Defensive Driving if they offer one or both programs.
