Do I have to take a driver training course? Can't my parents just give me my behind-the-wheel training?
There are some states that do permit parents or guardians to provide their teen-aged kids' required behind-the-wheel training in order to obtain a driver's license. However many states do not allow any type of substitution for taking a professionally-taught behind-the-wheel training course. We suggest you contact your state's DMV to find out what the laws are in your state regarding hands-on driving instruction.
I don't know how to drive using a stick-shift. Will Safe Drivers Centre have an automatic-shift car available that I can use for my behind-the-wheel training?
Since you're enrolling in a Bellaire Texas behind-the-wheel training class, chances are good that you don't know how to drive either a manual-shift OR an automatic! However, you should let Safe Drivers Centre know what your preference is before registering for their driver class. That way you'll know for sure they will accommodate you.
I live in a remote area, that has a lot of dirt roads and bumpy terrain. Will Safe Drivers Centre train me how to drive in BOTH city AND rural environments?

You may want to contact the Texas DMV or a Texas-approved driver training school like Safe Drivers Centre to find out what the minimum age to drive is in Texas.
Can I take Safe Drivers Centre's driver training course before taking a Bellaire Texas drivers education classroom course or online course?
It depends on what Texas's laws say.

We recommend that you contact Safe Drivers Centre directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
