Suburban Driving SchoolFAQ's
Suburban Driving School's contact information is listed on your webpage. How can I find out if it is a licensed behind the wheel training school in New York?
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 New York DMV to offer driver training courses. We strongly suggest that you contact Suburban Driving School directly or check with the New York DMV to find out for sure if Suburban Driving School is a licensed school.
Do I have to take a behind-the-wheel 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 driver 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.
What if I don't know how to operate a vehicle with a stick-shift? Does Suburban Driving School have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll allow me train with?
Since you're just learning how to drive, you probably don't know how to operate either a manual-shift or an automatic-shift vehicle! However, if you have a preference as to a manual or an automatic, you probably should call Suburban Driving School to see if they can accommodate your request prior to your enrolling in their behind-the-wheel training course.
What happens to those of us who live in a rural area? Will Suburban Driving School 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 Suburban Driving School will either want--or even be required--to tailor their instruction towards driving safely in your particular area.
After I turn 14, will I be eligible to get my learner's 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 instruction permit. We suggest that you contact a local driver training school such as Suburban Driving School or the New York DMV office to learn more about the minimum age requirement for driving in New York.
Do you know if the laws in New York require new teen-aged drivers to successfully complete a behind-the-wheel training course in addition to a drivers education classroom or online course?
The laws vary from state to state, but many states do require you to register for a behind-the-wheel training course with "hands-on" practice in addition to a driver ed classroom or online course.
