I heard that parents can fill the role of driving supervisor in California, so taking a Hacienda Heights driving school course like the one New Start Driving School offers is not necessary. Is that true?

That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.

Now that I'm 14, will California allow me to get a learner's permit to drive?
Not likely. Most states require residents to be at least 15 or 15 1/2 years old before applying for an instruction permit.
