I've been told that either of my parents can monitor my driver training, so I don't have to attend a Kalamazoo Michigan driving school like Drive Safe Kalamazoo to fulfill my behind-the-wheel training requirement. Do you know if that's true or not?
You will need to contact the Michigan DMV or a state-approved driver training school like Drive Safe Kalamazoo to find out.  Some states do allow parent-taught driving, but many states do not.
What if I don't know how to drive a vehicle with a manual-shift? Does Drive Safe Kalamazoo have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll let me train with?

After I turn 14, will I be eligible to obtain my learner's permit so I can begin to learn how to drive?
