Proficient Driving AcademyFAQ's
Proficient Driving Academy's contact information is listed on your webpage. How can I know for sure if it is a licensed behind the wheel training school in Louisiana?
Even though we provide a list of driver 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 Louisiana DMV to offer driver training courses. We strongly suggest that you contact Proficient Driving Academy directly or check with the Louisiana DMV to find out for sure if Proficient Driving Academy is a licensed school.
Will the Louisiana 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 in place of taking a driver training course with a professional driving instructor. You will need to contact the Louisiana DMV to find out if your behind-the-wheel driving may be done by your parents in Louisiana.
What if I don't know how to operate a stick-shift automobile? Does Proficient Driving Academy have automatic-shift vehicles that I can drive when I do my behind-the-wheel training?
If you're taking a New Orleans Louisiana driver training class, chances are you don't know how to drive ANY vehicle yet-- stick or automatic. However, if you prefer an automatic vehicle then you should tell Proficient Driving Academy that prior to registering for the course in order to make sure they can accommodate you.
What happens to those of us who live in a remote area? Will Proficient Driving Academy 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 driving school like Proficient Driving Academy will either want--or even be required--to tailor their instruction towards driving safely in your particular area.
Now that I'm 14, will Louisiana allow me to get a learner's permit to drive?
Not likely. Most states require residents to be at least 15 or 15 1/2 years old before applying for an instruction permit. We recommend that your contact the Louisiana DMV office or a Louisiana-approved driver training institute such as Proficient Driving Academy to learn more about the minimum driving age requirement in Louisiana.
Do I have to take both a defensive driving classroom course and a driver training course in New Orleans Louisiana to get my Louisiana driver's license?
The laws vary depending on which state you live in, but most states do require that pre-licensed drivers sign up to take a defensive driving classroom course and a behind-the-wheel training course. You may want to call a driving instruction company like Proficient Driving Academy and find out if they offer either (or both) of these programs.
Does Proficient Driving Academy provide a hands-on driver training course like the one that is required by the State of Louisiana? I need to complete one in order to obtain my driver license.
Proficient Driving Academy offers behind-the-wheel training courses which are approved by the Louisiana DMV. You may want to contact Proficient Driving Academy directly for more information about their courses and how to go about registering for one.
What do I need to do to get a driver's license in New Orleans Louisiana?
It depends on Louisiana's laws, but most states require new, teen-aged drivers to complete a drivers education classroom course as well as a driver training course. You may want to call Proficient Driving Academy to see if they offer the behind-the-wheel training course that would satisfy the regulations set forth by the Louisiana DMV.
Is hands-on driver training required in Louisiana in order to be licensed to operate a motor vehicle?
Absolutely. All new drivers in Louisiana must take an approved behind-the-wheel training course before they can get a license to independently drive a motor vehicle.
Will Louisiana allow me to register for a driver training course before I actually receive my learner's permit?
You will need to contact your state's DMV office to find out. However, most states require that you receive your learner's permit before you sign up with a behind-the-wheel training course.
