Is Traffic Safety Awareness licensed by the Missouri DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses?
Although we include Traffic Safety Awareness in our directory of driving schools for Springfield Missouri, we cannot make any assurances about whether or not Traffic Safety Awareness is licensed by the Missouri DMV. You should contact Traffic Safety Awareness directly and ask them if you are thinking about signing up to take their Springfield Missouri driver training class.
Do you know if I can do my driver training with my mother or father instead of attending a driving school like Traffic Safety Awareness?
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 Missouri DMV or Traffic Safety Awareness directly to find out if Missouri allows parent-taught behind-the-wheel training.
What happens if I don't know how to operate a manual-shift vehicle? Will Traffic Safety Awareness allow me to do my behind-the-wheel 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 behind-the-wheel training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact Traffic Safety Awareness 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.
I live in a small rural town, where there are a lot of small, unpaved roads. Will my driver training with Traffic Safety Awareness include learning how to drive in rural areas? Or do they just offer training for urban driving?
Most local driving schools will likely want their students to be taught how to drive safely in the local area. Therefore, chances are good that the driver training you receive from Traffic Safety Awareness will include handling unpaved roads and mountain driving.
Can I apply for my Missouri instruction permit once I turn 14?
Most likely, no. Most states have set the minimum age to obtain an instruction permit at 15 or 15½. You may want to contact the Missouri Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a certified driving instruction school like Traffic Safety Awareness to learn more about the minimum age requirement in Missouri.
Can I take Traffic Safety Awareness's driver training course before taking a Springfield Missouri drivers education classroom course or online course?
It depends on what Missouri's laws prescribe. 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 Missouri's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved driver training course. We recommend that you contact Traffic Safety Awareness directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
