ABC Driving SchoolFAQ's
Is ABC Driving School an approved 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 driver training courses in California. We highly recommend that you contact ABC Driving School directly or the California DMV to find out for sure if ABC Driving School offers behind-the-wheel training courses that have been approved by the State of California.
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 permit parents or guardians to provide their teen-aged kids' required driver training in order to obtain a driver's license. However many states do not allow any type of substitution for enrolling in 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 hands-on driving instruction.
What if I don't know how to drive a stick-shift automobile? Does ABC Driving School have automatic-shift vehicles that I can drive when I do my driver training?
If you're taking a Union City California driver training class, chances are you don't know how to drive ANY vehicle yet-- manual or automatic. However, if you prefer an automatic vehicle then you should tell ABC Driving School that prior to signing up to take the course in order to make sure they can accommodate you.
What happens to those of us who live in a non-urban area? Will ABC Driving School include instruction on how to drive on dirt roads, mountain roads, and other bumpy terrain?

I'm turning 14 in a few days. Can I get a instruction permit to drive in California after my 14th birthday?

Nevertheless, you may wish to contact the California DMV office or a California-certified driving school such as ABC Driving School to find out for certain what the minimum driving age is in your local area.
Do I have to complete a Union City California drivers education classroom course or online course before registering for one of ABC Driving School's behind-the-wheel training courses?

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