Kern Driving School FAQ's
Can you tell me if Kern Driving School is a licensed driving school in California?
Although Kern Driving School is listed on our list of driving schools in your area, we are unable to say with certainty as to whether they are currently licensed to teach behind-the-wheel training courses in California. We recommend either calling Kern Driving School directly or the California DMV to find out whether or not Kern Driving School offers hands-on driving courses that are state-approved.
Do I have to take a driver training course? Can't my parents just give me my behind-the-wheel training?
There are some states that do allow 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 taking 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 Kern Driving School have automatic-shift vehicles that I can drive when I do my behind-the-wheel training?
If you're taking a Bakersfield California behind-the-wheel 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 Kern Driving School that prior to registering for the course in order to make sure they can accommodate you.
I don't live anywhere near a city. There are dirt roads and bumpy terrain all around my house. How do I know if Kern Driving School will train me on how to drive in a rural area like where I live and not just teach me how to drive in a town-or city-type environment?
Since Kern Driving School is a local driver training company in your area, it's a safe bet that Kern Driving School will be motivated (or perhaps required) to teach its local customers how to drive on bumpy terrain. If you want to make certain, however, you may want to call Kern Driving School to find out exactly what's included in their driver training course before you sign up with them.
After I turn 14, will I be eligible to obtain my learner's permit so I can begin to learn how to drive?
It depends on which state you live in, however most states unfortunately require you to be at least 15 (or sometimes 15 1/2) before you can be issued a learner's permit. We suggest that you contact a local driver training school such as Kern Driving School or the California DMV office to learn more about the minimum age requirement for driving in California.
Can I take Kern Driving School's behind-the-wheel training course before taking a Bakersfield California drivers education classroom course or online course?
It depends on what California's laws say. However, you should know that most states will require teen-aged, first-time drivers to complete both a drivers education classroom course (which are approximately 30 hours in length, depending on California's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved driver training course. We recommend that you contact Kern Driving School directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
