Foothill Driving SchoolFAQ's
Since Foothill Driving School appears on your website, does this mean they are approved by the California DMV to offer driver 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-approved by the California DMV. You may want to call Foothill Driving School directly to find out if they offer a state-certified behind-the-wheel training course.
Will the California 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 behind-the-wheel driving course with a professional driving instructor. You will need to contact the California DMV to find out if your driver training may be done by your parents in California.
Do I need to tell Foothill Driving School that I need to train with an automatic-shift car? I don't know how to drive a stick-shift automobile.
Most new drivers don't know how to operate either a manual-shift OR and automatic-shift vehicle! We recommend that you ask Foothill Driving School if you can complete your driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle before you enroll in their driver training course.
I live in a very rural area, where there are mountains and a lot of unpaved roads. Do you know if Foothill Driving School teaches students how to drive in rural areas like where I live instead of just driving on smooth, paved roads in city areas?
Since you live in a remote area, a local driving school such as Foothill Driving School will tailor your behind-the-wheel training to handle the conditions in your area.
Can I get my California learner's permit once I turn 14?
Most likely, no. Most states have set the youngest age to obtain an instruction permit at 15 or 15½. You may want to contact the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driving instruction school like Foothill Driving School to learn more about the minimum age requirement in California.
Will I be required to sign up for both a drivers education classroom or online course and a driver training course in Folsom California?
It depends on which state you live in, but many states now require new teen-aged drivers to sign up for both a drivers education course as well as a behind-the-wheel training course.
