Buckle-Up Driving SchoolFAQ's
Since Buckle-Up Driving School appears on your website, does this mean they are approved by the California DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses?
The list of driving schools on our webpage is provided as a convenience to our customers only. We CANNOT guarantee that every single school listed is fully-certified by the California DMV. You may want to call Buckle-Up Driving School directly to find out if they offer a state-certified behind-the-wheel training course.
Do I have to take a behind-the-wheel training course? Can't my parents just give me my driver training?
There are some states that do allow 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 behind-the-wheel training.
What happens if I don't know how to operate a stick-shift vehicle? Will Buckle-Up Driving School allow me to do my behind-the-wheel training with an automatic-shift car?
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about operating any type of car--stick-shift or automatic-shift! However, if you prefer to complete your behind-the-wheel training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact Buckle-Up Driving School and let them know before you enroll in their driver training course. That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.
I don't live anywhere near a city. There are unpaved roads and rugged terrain all around my house. How do I know if Buckle-Up Driving School will train me on how to drive in a remote area like where I live and not just teach me how to drive in a town-or city-type environment?
Since Buckle-Up Driving School is a local driver training company in your area, it's a safe bet that Buckle-Up Driving School will be motivated (or perhaps required) to teach its local customers how to drive on bumpy terrain. If you want to make certain, however, you may want to call Buckle-Up Driving School to find out exactly what's included in their driver training course before you sign up with them.
Now that I'm 14, will California allow me to get an instruction 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 California DMV office or a California-approved driver training institute such as Buckle-Up Driving School to learn more about the minimum driving age requirement in California.
Am I required to take a Van Nuys California classroom or online drivers education course before I can register for a driver training course through Buckle-Up Driving School?
