National Defensive Driving FAQ's
Can you tell me if National Defensive Driving is a certified driver training school in Arizona?
Although National Defensive Driving is listed on our list of driving schools in your area, we are unable to say with certainty as to whether they are currently certified to teach driver training courses in Arizona. We recommend either calling National Defensive Driving directly or the Arizona DMV to find out whether or not National Defensive Driving offers hands-on driving courses that are state-approved.
I've been told that either of my parents can monitor my driver training, so I don't have to attend a Gilbert Arizona driving school like National Defensive Driving to fulfill my driver training requirement. Do you know if that's true or not?
You will need to contact the Arizona DMV or a state-approved driving school like National Defensive Driving to find out. Some states do allow parent-taught driving, but many states do not.
What if I don't know how to drive a vehicle with a stick-shift? Does National Defensive Driving have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll let me train with?
