United Driving SchoolFAQ's
United Driving School is listed on your website as a driving school which offers behind-the-wheel training courses. How do I know if United Driving School is a certified school in California?
While we include a list of driver training schools on our website for your convenience, we cannot guarantee that every single one of them is currently licensed by the California DMV. We suggest you contact United Driving School directly or the California DMV to find out if United Driving School is a fully-accredited driver training school.
Could I just have my mother or father give me my behind-the-wheel training instead of paying money to enroll in a professional behind-the-wheel training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which allow you to do your behind-the-wheel training with a parent or guardian instead of attending a professional driving school. However many states require that new 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.
I have no clue how to drive a manual-shift vehicle. What happens if United Driving School makes me train on a manual-shift vehicle?
Considering the fact you are a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about operating ANY type of vehicle....manual OR automatic! If you prefer to do your behind-the-wheel training with an automatic-shift vehicle, you may want to call United Driving School and let them know before you sign up to take their driver training course. That way you'll know for sure whether United Driving School can accommodate you before you pay them any money.
What happens to those of us who live in a remote area? Will United Driving School include instruction on how to drive on dirt roads, mountain roads, and other rugged?
If you live in a rural location, there is a high probability that a local driver training school like United Driving School will either want--or even be required--to tailor their instruction towards driving safely in your particular locale.

You may want to contact the California DMV or a California-approved driver training school like United Driving School to find out what the minimum age to drive is in California.

You may want to call a driving instruction company like United Driving School and find out if they offer either (or both) of these programs.
