Safety First Driving SchoolFAQ's
Is Safety First Driving School licensed by the Texas DMV to offer driver training courses?
Although we include Safety First Driving School in our directory of driving schools for Houston Texas, we cannot make any assurances about whether or not Safety First Driving School is licensed by the Texas DMV. You should contact Safety First Driving School directly and ask them if you are thinking about registering for their Houston Texas behind-the-wheel training class.
Could I just have my mother or father give me my behind-the-wheel training instead of paying money to enroll in a professional behind-the-wheel training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which permit 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 don't know how to drive using a manual-shift. Will Safety First Driving School have an automatic-shift car available that I can use for my behind-the-wheel training?
Since you're enrolling in a Houston Texas driver training class, chances are good that you don't know how to drive either a manual-shift OR an automatic! However, you should let Safety First Driving School know what your preference is before enrolling in their behind-the-wheel class. That way you'll know for sure they will accommodate you.
Since I live way out in the country where driving on unpaved roads and bumpy terrain is the norm, will Safety First Driving School be able to teach me how to drive in a rural environment? Or do they only prepare you for city-driving?
Since you live in a remote location, odds are that any local driving school in your area such as Safety First Driving School will want you to be able to drive safely on dirt roads and rugged terrain. We recommend that you contact Safety First Driving School directly to find out exactly what they offer.
Are 14-year-olds eligible to obtain a learner's permit in Texas?
Although a few states allow teen-agers to begin practicing how to drive at 14, most states have set the youngest age for which to hold an instruction permit at either 15 or 15½. You will need to contact the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driving school like Safety First Driving School to find out what the minimum age for driving is in Texas.
Do you know if the laws in Texas require new teen-aged drivers to successfully complete a driver training course in addition to a drivers education classroom or online course?
