Hands-On Driving SchoolFAQ's
Is Hands-On Driving School a licensed driving school in Illinois?

We highly recommend that you contact Hands-On Driving School directly or the Illinois DMV to find out for sure if Hands-On Driving School offers behind-the-wheel training courses that have been approved by the State of Illinois.
I heard that parents can fill the role of driving supervisor in Illinois, so taking a Streamwood driver training course like the one Hands-On Driving School offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the Illinois DMV or a licensed driver training school like Hands-On Driving School and ask them. While parent-taught driving instruction is permitted in some states, many states do NOT allow it.
What happens if I don't know how to drive a stick-shift vehicle? Will Hands-On Driving School allow me to do my driver training with an automatic-shift car?
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about operating 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 Hands-On Driving School and let them know before you enroll in their behind-the-wheel training course. That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.
