Ridwan Driving SchoolFAQ's
Is Ridwan Driving School a licensed driving school in California?
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 California. We highly recommend that you contact Ridwan Driving School directly or the California DMV to find out for sure if Ridwan Driving School offers hands-on driving courses that have been approved by the State of California.
Could I just have my mother or father give me my behind-the-wheel training instead of paying money to take a professional driver training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which allow you to do your behind-the-wheel training with a parent or guardian instead of enrolling in a professional driving school. However many states require that new drivers take a professionally-taught behind-the-wheel training course. We recommend that you ask your state's DMV office to find out if your parent or guardian can fill the role as your behind-the-wheel driving instructor.
I can't operate a manual-shift. Will Ridwan Driving School allow me to complete my behind-the-wheel training on an automatic-shift vehicle?

You will need to contact the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driving school like Ridwan Driving School to find out what the minimum age for driving is in California.

You may want to ask Ridwan Driving School if they offer one or both programs.
