Could I just have my mother or father give me my behind-the-wheel training instead of paying money to take a professional behind-the-wheel training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which permit you to do your hands-on driver training with a parent or guardian instead of enrolling in a professional driving school. However many states require that first-time drivers take a professionally-taught behind-the-wheel training course. We recommend that you ask 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 manual-shift automobile? Does Safe Driving Coalition have automatic-shift vehicles that I can drive when I do my behind-the-wheel training?

However, if you prefer an automatic vehicle then you should tell Safe Driving Coalition that prior to enrolling in the course in order to make sure they can accommodate you.
