Global Driving SchoolFAQ's
Global Driving School's address and phone number is listed on your webpage. How can I find out if it is a licensed driver training school in California?
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 licensed by the California DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses. We strongly suggest that you contact Global Driving School directly or check with the California DMV to find out for sure if Global Driving School is a licensed school.
Could I just have my mother or father give me my behind-the-wheel training instead of paying money to attend a professional behind-the-wheel training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which allow 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 new drivers take a professionally-taught behind-the-wheel 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 happens if I don't know how to operate a stick-shift vehicle? Will Global Driving School allow me to do my driver training with an automatic-shift vehicle?
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about driving any type of car--stick-shift or automatic-shift! However, if you prefer to complete your driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact Global Driving School and inform them before you register for their behind-the-wheel training course. That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.
Since I live way out in the country where driving on dirt roads and rugged terrain is the norm, will Global Driving School be able to teach me how to drive in a non-urban environment? Or do they only prepare you for city-driving?
Since you live in the country, odds are that any local driving school in your area such as Global Driving School will want you to be able to drive safely on unpaved roads and bumpy terrain. We recommend that you contact Global Driving School directly to find out exactly what they offer.
Can I get my California learner's permit once I turn 14?
Most likely, no. Most states have set the youngest age to obtain a learner's permit at 15 or 15½. You may want to contact the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driver training school like Global Driving School to learn more about the minimum age requirement in California.
Will I be required to register for both a drivers education classroom or online course and a behind-the-wheel training course in San Jose California?
