Tri-City Driving School, Inc.FAQ's
Tri-City Driving School, Inc.'s contact information is listed on your webpage. How can I find out if it is an approved driver training school in Illinois?
Even though we provide a list of driver training schools on our website, we have no way of knowing for sure as to whether or not a particular school is licensed by the Illinois DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses. We strongly suggest that you contact Tri-City Driving School, Inc. directly or check with the Illinois DMV to find out for sure if Tri-City Driving School, Inc. is a licensed school.
Somebody told me that I can skip out of attending a driver training school if my parents give me behind-the-wheel training instead. Is that permissible in Illinois?
Each state has its own laws regarding driver training. Some states will allow parentally-supervised behind-the-wheel training as a substitute for enrolling in a behind-the-wheel training course which is taught by a professional driving instructor. However, not all states allow this. You should contact the Illinois DMV to find out for sure.
What happens if I don't know how to operate a stick-shift vehicle? Will Tri-City Driving School, Inc. 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 driving any type of vehicle--manual-shift or automatic-shift! However, if you prefer to complete your behind-the-wheel training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact Tri-City Driving School, Inc. and let them know before you enroll in their driver training course. That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.
I live in a small mountain community, where there are a lot of small, unpaved roads. Will my driver training with Tri-City Driving School, Inc. include being taught how to drive in rural areas? Or do they just offer training for urban driving?

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