Safe Start Driving SchoolFAQ's
Are all the driving schools listed on your website fully-licensed by the Texas DMV to offer driver training courses in Texas?
The driving school directory on our website is for your convenience only, and we cannot absolutely guarantee that every driving school listed is currently licensed to offer behind-the-wheel training courses in Texas. We suggest you contact the Texas DMV to make sure a particular driver training school is certified before you enroll in their driver training course.
Do you know if I can complete my driver training with my mother or father instead of attending a behind-the-wheel training course like the ones offered by Safe Start Driving School?
Some states allow teen-agers to do their driver training with their parents instead of attending a professional driver training school. We recommend that you contact the Texas DMV or Safe Start Driving School directly to find out if Texas allows parent-taught behind-the-wheel training.
Do you know if Safe Start Driving School will let me take my driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle? I don't know anything about using a manual-shift.
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know a whole lot about driving ANY type of vehicle, be it a stick OR an automatic! Nevertheless, if you have a preference, you probably should contact Safe Start Driving School and see if they can accommodate you before registering for their driver training course.
I live in a small rural town, where there are a lot of small, unpaved roads. Will my behind-the-wheel training with Safe Start Driving School include being taught how to drive in remote areas? Or do they just offer training for city driving?
Most local driving schools will likely want their students to know how to drive safely in the local area. Therefore, chances are good that the driver training you receive from Safe Start Driving School will include handling unpaved roads and mountain driving.
If I'm 14, can I get a driver's permit to drive in Texas?
Possibly. However, you should be aware that most states require you to be at least 15½ years old before you can get a learner's permit. We recommend that you contact the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a certified driving school such as Safe Start Driving School to find out exactly what the minimum age requirement is in Texas.
Can I take Safe Start Driving School's behind-the-wheel training course before taking a Rowlett Texas defensive driving classroom course or online course?
It depends on what Texas's laws say. However, you should know that most states will require teen-aged, first-time drivers to complete both a drivers education classroom course (which are approximately 30 hours in length, depending on Texas's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved behind-the-wheel training course. We recommend that you contact Safe Start Driving School directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
I have to take a defensive driving course in Rowlett Texas. Can I meet this requirement by registering with Safe Start Driving School?
Yes, Safe Start Driving School offers drivers education courses in Rowlett Texas. You will need to contact Safe Start Driving School directly to get more information on the types of courses they offer and when to sign up for a class.
What steps do I have to take in order to get a Texas drivers license in Rowlett Texas?
Most states require that teen-agers who are applying for their first driver's license complete both a drivers education classroom course and a behind-the-wheel training course. Safe Start Driving School may be able to help you meet the driver training portion in Texas. Please contact Safe Start Driving School for more information.
Is hands-on driver training required in Texas in order to be licensed to operate a motor vehicle?
Absolutely. All new drivers in Texas are required to take an approved hands-on driver training course before they can be issued a license to independently operate a motor vehicle.
Can I sign up to take a Texas-certified driver training course even if I don't have my Texas learners permit yet?
Most likely, no. Most states have laws that require a pre-licensed driver to have obtained a Texas learners permit before registering in a Texas behind-the-wheel training course. It would be best for you to contact a driving school such as Safe Start Driving School and ask for more information.
