Do you know if I can complete my driver training with my mother or father instead of attending a behind-the-wheel training course like the ones offered by Amigo Driving School?
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 Illinois DMV or Amigo Driving School directly to find out if Illinois allows parent-taught behind-the-wheel training.
Do I need to tell Amigo Driving School that I need to train with an automatic-shift vehicle? I don't know how to drive a manual-shift automobile.
Most new drivers don't know how to operate either a stick-shift OR and automatic-shift vehicle! We recommend that you ask Amigo Driving School if you can complete your behind-the-wheel training using an automatic-shift vehicle before you enroll in their driver training course.
Since I live way out in a remote location where driving on unpaved roads and bumpy terrain is the norm, will Amigo Driving School be able to teach me how to drive in a non-urban environment? Or do they only prepare you for city-driving?
Since you live in a rural area, odds are that any local driving school in your area such as Amigo Driving School will want you to be able to drive safely on dirt roads and rugged terrain. We recommend that you contact Amigo Driving School directly to find out exactly what they offer.
