Oxford Driving School FAQ's
Can you tell me if Oxford Driving School is a licensed driver training school in California?
Although Oxford 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 approved to teach behind-the-wheel training courses in California. We recommend either calling Oxford Driving School directly or the California DMV to find out whether or not Oxford Driving School offers behind-the-wheel training courses that are state-approved.
I've been told that either of my parents can supervise my driver training, so I don't have to attend a Los Angeles California driving school like Oxford Driving School to fulfill my driver training requirement. Do you know if that's true or not?
You will need to contact the California DMV or a state-approved driving school like Oxford Driving School to find out. Some states do allow parent-taught driving, but many states do not.
What happens if I don't know how to operate a manual-shift vehicle? Will Oxford Driving School allow me to do my behind-the-wheel training with an automatic-shift car?
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about driving any type of car--stick-shift or automatic-shift! However, if you prefer to complete your driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact Oxford Driving School and inform them before you sign up to take their behind-the-wheel training course. That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.
I don't live anywhere near a city. There are dirt roads and rugged terrain all around my house. How do I know if Oxford 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 Oxford Driving School is a local driver training company in your area, it's a safe bet that Oxford 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 Oxford Driving School to find out exactly what's included in their behind-the-wheel training course before you sign up with them.
I'm turning 14 in a few days. Can I get a learner's permit to drive in California after my 14th birthday?
Most likely, no. Most states (though not all) have laws which require that you be at least 15 or 15 1/2 before to be eligible to apply for an instruction permit. Nevertheless, you may wish to contact the California DMV office or a California-certified driving school such as Oxford Driving School to find out for certain what the minimum driving age is in your local area.
Do I have to take a Los Angeles California classroom or online drivers education course before I can enroll in a behind-the-wheel training course through Oxford Driving School?
This requirement varies by state but most states do mandate pre-licensed drivers to take BOTH a classroom-based driver education course (generally 30 hours in length) AND a behind-the-wheel training course. You should ask Oxford Driving School if they offer one or both programs.
California's DMV has told me that I need to take a behind-the-wheel training course. Do you know if Oxford Driving School offers this course or not?

Exactly what type of driver training do I need in Los Angeles California before I can get my California driver's license?

We suggest that you contact a local driver training company such as Oxford Driving School and ask if they offer a California-approved behind-the-wheel training course which would satisfy California's driver's education requirements.
