You Pass Driving SchoolFAQ's
You Pass Driving School's contact information is listed on your webpage. How can I know for sure if it is a licensed driver training school in California?
Even though we provide a list of behind-the-wheel training schools on our website, we have no way of knowing for sure as to whether or not a particular school is certified by the California DMV to offer driver training courses. We strongly suggest that you contact You Pass Driving School directly or check with the California DMV to find out for sure if You Pass Driving School is a licensed school.
Could I just have my mother or father give me my behind-the-wheel training instead of paying money to attend a professional driver training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which permit you to complete your behind-the-wheel training with a parent or guardian instead of attending a professional driving school. However many states require that first-time drivers take a professionally-taught driver training course. We recommend that you check with 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 have no clue how to drive a manual-shift vehicle. What happens if You Pass Driving School makes me train on a manual-shift vehicle?
Considering the fact you are a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about operating ANY type of vehicle....manual OR automatic! If you prefer to do your behind-the-wheel training with an automatic-shift vehicle, you may want to call You Pass Driving School and let them know before you sign up to take their driver training course. That way you'll know for sure whether You Pass Driving School will be able to accommodate you before you pay them any money.
I live in a very remote area, where there are mountains and a lot of unpaved roads. Do you know if You Pass Driving School teaches students how to drive in rural areas like where I live instead of just driving on smooth, paved roads in urban areas?
Since you live in a remote area, a local driving school such as You Pass Driving School will tailor your driver training to handle the conditions in your area.
If I'm 14, can I get a driver's permit to drive in California?
Possibly. However, you should be aware that most states require you to be at least 15½ years old before you can get an instruction permit. We recommend that you contact the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driving school such as You Pass Driving School to find out exactly what the minimum age requirement is in California.
Do I have to take a Vista California classroom or online drivers education course before I can register for a behind-the-wheel training course through You Pass Driving School?
This requirement varies from state to state but most states do require pre-licensed drivers to take BOTH a classroom-based defensive driving course (generally 30 hours in length) AND a behind-the-wheel training course. You should ask You Pass Driving School if they offer one or both programs.
I have to complete a driver training class in Vista California before California will give me my driver's license. Does You Pass Driving School offer this type of course?
You Pass Driving School does offer the behind-the-wheel training course in Vista California that is required by the State of California. You will need to contact You Pass Driving School directly for more information about the driver courses they offer and their class schedules.
How do I obtain a drivers license in Vista California?
In most states, pre-licensed teens are required to complete both a classroom safe driving course and a behind-the-wheel training course. You Pass Driving School may be able to help you meet the driver training portion in California.
Is there a law in California that says I have to take behind-the-wheel training in order to get my driver's license?
Yes. State law in California mandates that all teen-agers successfully complete an approved driver training course before receiving a California driver's license.
Will California allow me to enroll in a driver training course before I actually receive my learner's permit?
You will need to contact your state's DMV office to find out. However, most states require that you obtain your instruction permit before you register with a behind-the-wheel training course.
