Wongs Driving SchoolFAQ's
Wongs Driving School's contact information is listed on your webpage. How can I know for sure if it is a licensed driver training school in California?
Even though we provide a list of behind-the-wheel training schools on our website, we have no way of knowing for sure as to whether or not a particular school is certified by the California DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses. We strongly suggest that you contact Wongs Driving School directly or check with the California DMV to find out for sure if Wongs Driving School 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 California?
Each state has its own rules regarding behind-the-wheel training. Some states will allow parentally-supervised driver training as a substitute for enrolling in a driver training course which is taught by a professional driving instructor. However, not all states allow this. You should contact the California DMV to find out for sure.
Do I need to tell Wongs Driving School that I need to train with an automatic-shift automobile? I don't know how to drive a stick-shift vehicle.
Most new drivers don't know how to operate either a manual-shift OR and automatic-shift vehicle! We recommend that you ask Wongs Driving School if you can complete your behind-the-wheel training using an automatic-shift vehicle before you sign up to take their driver training course.
I live in a small mountain community, where there are a lot of small, unpaved roads. Will my behind-the-wheel training with Wongs 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 be taught how to drive safely in the local area. Therefore, chances are good that the driver training you receive from Wongs Driving School will include handling dirt roads and mountain driving.
Can I apply for my California learner's permit once I turn 14?
Most likely, no. Most states have set the youngest age to obtain an instruction permit at 15 or 15½. You may want to contact the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driver training school like Wongs Driving School to learn more about the minimum age requirement in California.
Can I take Wongs Driving School's behind-the-wheel training course before taking a San Francisco California drivers education classroom course or online course?
It depends on what California's laws prescribe. However, you should know that most states will require teen-aged, first-time drivers to complete both a defensive driving classroom course (which are approximately 30 hours in length, depending on California's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved driver training course. We recommend that you contact Wongs Driving School directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
California's DMV has told me that I need to take a driver training course. Do you know if Wongs Driving School offers this course or not?
Wongs Driving School does offer the driver training course that California requires all new teen-aged drivers to take. For more information about the courses Wongs Driving School offers, we recommend that you contact Wongs Driving School directly.
Do I have to take drivers education to get a California driver's license?
Drivers education requirements vary depending on which state you live in, but you should be aware that most states require new, teen-aged drivers to complete both a driver training course in addition to a drivers education classroom or online course. You may wish to contact the California DMV to find out exactly what requirements you will need to fulfill in order to obtain your first driver's license.
Am I obligated to take a San Francisco California behind-the-wheel training course?
All drivers in California must take a driver training course. You should contact Wongs Driving School to learn more about the courses they offer.
Is it okay for me to sign up to take a driver training class in California before I receive my California learners permit to drive?
Probably not. Most states require first-time drivers to have their instruction permit before they are allowed to enroll in a driver training program. You should contact a driving instruction company like Wongs Driving School and request more information.
