Custom Driving SchoolFAQ's

Is Custom Driving School an approved driving school in Michigan?
Just because a driving school appears on our directory of driver training institutions, we cannot guarantee that they are fully licensed to offer hands-on driving courses in Michigan.  We highly recommend that you contact Custom Driving School directly or the Michigan DMV to find out for sure if Custom Driving School offers hands-on driving courses that have been approved by the State of Michigan.
Will the Michigan 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 Michigan DMV to find out if your behind-the-wheel driving may be done by your parents in Michigan.
I don't know how to drive using a stick-shift. Will Custom Driving School have an automatic-shift car available that I can use for my behind-the-wheel training?
Since you're enrolling in a Chelsea Michigan behind-the-wheel training class, chances are good that you don't know how to drive either a manual-shift OR an automatic!  However, you should let Custom Driving School know what your preference is before enrolling in their driver class.  That way you'll know for sure they will accommodate you.
I don't live anywhere near a city. There are dirt roads and rugged terrain all around my house. How do I know if Custom Driving School will train me on how to drive in a rural area like where I live and not just teach me how to drive in a town-or city-type environment?
Since Custom Driving School is a local driver training company in your area, it's a safe bet that Custom Driving School will be motivated (or perhaps required) to teach its local customers how to drive on rough terrain.  If you want to make certain, however, you may want to call Custom Driving School to find out exactly what's included in their driver training course before you register with them.
After I turn 14, will I be eligible to get 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 instruction permit.  We suggest that you contact a local driver training school such as Custom Driving School or the Michigan DMV office to learn more about the minimum age requirement for driving in Michigan.
Can I take Custom Driving School's behind-the-wheel training course before taking a Chelsea Michigan defensive driving classroom course or online course?
It depends on what Michigan's laws say.  However, you should know that most states will require teen-aged, first-time drivers to complete both a defensive driving classroom course (which are approximately 30 hours in length, depending on Michigan's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved driver training course.  We recommend that you contact Custom Driving School directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
I am looking to register for a Chelsea Michigan drivers education course. Can Custom Driving School assist me with this?
Yes.  defensive driving courses are available in Chelsea Michigan through Custom Driving School.  Please contact Custom Driving School directly with questions regarding their schedule of classes and registration information.
What type of driver ed do I need before Michigan will give me a driver's license?
Each state has its own requirements concerning drivers education, although you should know that most states now mandate all new, young drivers to enroll in a safe driving classroom or online course as well as a behind-the-wheel training course.  Custom Driving School may be able to help you meet the driver training requirement in Michigan.  Please contact either Custom Driving School or the Michigan DMV for more information.
Do I have to take a Chelsea Michigan driver training course in order to get a driver's license?
Yes.  All drivers in Michigan must successfully complete an approved driver training course in order to be licensed to operate a motor vehicle.  Please contact Custom Driving School for information on the types of driver training courses they offer in Chelsea Michigan.
Can I register for a Michigan behind-the-wheel training course prior to having my Michigan learners permit?
Most states require pre-licensed drivers to hold a instruction permit before being permitted to register for a behind-the-wheel training course.  You should contact a driving school like Custom Driving School and ask for more information.
