Hatch's Driving TrainingFAQ's
Hatch's Driving Training's contact information is listed on your webpage. How can I know for sure if it is an approved behind the wheel training school in Idaho?
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 licensed by the Idaho DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses. We strongly suggest that you contact Hatch's Driving Training directly or check with the Idaho DMV to find out for sure if Hatch's Driving Training is a licensed school.
Do you know if I can complete my driver training with my mother or father instead of attending a driving school like Hatch's Driving Training?
Some states allow teen-agers to complete their driver training with their parents instead of attending a professional driving school. We recommend that you contact the Idaho DMV or Hatch's Driving Training directly to find out if Idaho allows parent-taught behind-the-wheel training.
Do I need to tell Hatch's Driving Training that I need to train with an automatic-shift car? I don't know how to drive a stick-shift car.
Most new drivers don't know how to operate either a manual-shift OR and automatic-shift car! We recommend that you ask Hatch's Driving Training if you can complete your driver training using an automatic-shift automobile before you enroll in their driver training course.
I live out in the middle of nowhere. There are rural and mountain roads all around. Will Hatch's Driving Training teach me how to drive in BOTH rural AND city areas?
If you live in a rural or mountain area, chances are that a local driving school like Hatch's Driving Training will include behind-the-wheel driver training specifically tailored to that terrain.
I'm turning 14 in a few days. Can I get a instruction permit to drive in Idaho after my 14th birthday?
Most likely, no. Most states (though not all) have laws which require that you be at least 15 or 15 1/2 before to be eligible to apply for an instruction permit. Nevertheless, you may wish to contact the Idaho DMV office or a Idaho-certified driving school such as Hatch's Driving Training to find out for certain what the minimum driving age is in your local area.
Can I take Hatch's Driving Training's behind-the-wheel training course before taking a Meridian Idaho drivers education classroom course or online course?
It depends on what Idaho's laws say. However, you should know that most states will require teen-aged, first-time drivers to complete both a drivers education classroom course (which are approximately 30 hours in length, depending on Idaho's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved behind-the-wheel training course. We recommend that you contact Hatch's Driving Training directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.

You may wish to contact the Idaho DMV to find out exactly what requirements you will need to fulfill in order to obtain your first driver's license.
