Driver’s Training FAQ’s
What’s the difference between Driver’s Education and Driver’s Training?
Driver’s Education is a class required for minors (15-17 ½ yrs. old) where they learn the rules of the road. Driver’s Training is behind-the-wheel driving instruction (aka: driving lessons).
How many hours of driving do I need?
That depends if you’re a minor, adult or a senior. If you’re a minor, you must complete at least 6hrs with a driving school and 50hrs with a licensed parent or guardian over 25, meaning the parent/guardian does the bulk of the training. We have larger packages of driving lessons to help assist in those hours in case the parent/guardian cannot complete the hours.
If you’re an adult, it depends on how much you know and need work on to get you prepared for your Drive Test. If you’re a first-time driver, you will most likely need a package to start with. Your Driving Instructor will let you know during your lessons if you may need more training based on how well you progress during the lessons.
If you’re a senior and need to retake your Drive Test, it is best to start with one lesson for evaluation and your Driving Instructor will let you know if you need more lessons. If you have a case number and are working with the DMV- Department of Safety, we can help with that too.
Do you pick up and drop off for the driving lessons?
Yes, we pick up and drop off from school, home, or work Monday-Sunday. However, there are certain areas that require an additional fee or closer pick-up location due to their distance from our home base (Ex: Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Marina Del Rey, Encino, Tarzana, Burbank, Inglewood, etc.). If you want to confirm if we service your area without an additional fee or a closer pick-up location you may call our office to confirm.
Are there other students/people in the car during the driving lesson?
We only offer private one-on-one instruction for our driving lessons. However, sometimes we may have a Driving Instructor Trainee to observe a lesson. This situation is rare, but if you would like to make a note on your file to not have observation of a trainee, simply call our office and we will add the note.
This is my first lesson, where do I drive?
This depends on where you are located. Typically, we start in residential areas until the instructor feels you are ready for a major street. If you live in the hills/canyons, we will drive you to your closest flat residential area to begin practice.
What if it’s raining, are the lessons cancelled?
Our lessons are held rain or shine. Though rain is uncommon in Los Angeles, we do not cancel classes due to rain. It is beneficial to learn how to drive in all weather conditions, especially when you can have an instructor advising you throughout the lesson.
Is freeway driving covered during my lessons?
Your Driving Instructor will decide based on your driving progress when you are ready for freeway driving. Each student starts at different levels, if you’ve never driven before and it is your first lesson, we do not cover freeway driving as we have other more important things to go over first. Each driving lesson is customized based on your driving experience. You may always request freeway driving when scheduling and we will advise your instructor. There is no extra fee.
Can I use my vehicle for the driving lesson?
Our driving lessons are held in company vehicles that have additional gas and brake on the passenger side for our Driving Instructors. We do have some instructors that allow instruction in student’s own vehicles, but the instructor must approve that the student doesn’t require the assistance of the additional pedals first. There is an additional fee.
Do you take me to the DMV for the Drive Test?
We absolutely can! If your Driving Instructor feels that you are ready for your Drive Test, we can schedule your Drive Test appointment with the DMV of your choice and reserve our Drive Test service with your Instructor. Our Drive Test service includes practice time with your instructor and usage of our vehicle for your test. Please check our Drive Test service fees section for further information.
