Austin Driving SchoolFAQ's
Since Austin Driving School appears on your website, does this mean they are approved by the Texas DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses?
The list of driving schools on our webpage is provided as a convenience to our customers only. We CANNOT guarantee that every single school listed is fully-approved by the Texas DMV. You may want to call Austin Driving School directly to find out if they offer a state-certified behind-the-wheel training course.
Will the Texas DMV allow my parents to supervise my driving practice instead of requiring me to take a behind-the-wheel training course at a state-approved driving school?
Possibly. Some states will allow your parents to supervise your driving practice as a substitute to taking a behind-the-wheel driving course with a professional driving instructor. You will need to contact the Texas DMV to find out if your driver training may be done by your parents in Texas.
Do you know if Austin Driving School will let me take my behind-the-wheel training using an automatic-shift vehicle? I don't know anything about using a manual-shift.
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know a whole lot about driving ANY type of vehicle, be it a manual OR an automatic! Nevertheless, if you have a preference, you probably should contact Austin Driving School and see if they can accommodate you before signing up to take their behind-the-wheel training course.
I live in a small rural community, where there are a lot of small, unpaved roads. Will my driver training with Austin Driving School include being taught how to drive in remote areas? Or do they just offer training for urban driving?
Most local driving schools will likely want their students to know how to drive safely in the local area. Therefore, chances are good that the driver training you receive from Austin Driving School will include handling dirt roads and mountain driving.
After I turn 14, will I be eligible to obtain my instruction permit so I can begin to learn how to drive?
It depends on which state you live in, however most states unfortunately require you to be at least 15 (or sometimes 15 1/2) before you can be issued a learner's permit. We suggest that you contact a local driver training school such as Austin Driving School or the Texas DMV office to learn more about the minimum age requirement for driving in Texas.
Do I have to take a San Antonio Texas classroom or online drivers education course before I can enroll in a behind-the-wheel training course through Austin Driving School?
