Ready Driving Academy FAQ's
Ready Driving Academy is listed on your website as a driving school which offers behind-the-wheel training courses. How do I know if Ready Driving Academy is a licensed school in Minnesota?
While we include a list of driver training schools on our website for your convenience, we cannot guarantee that every single one of them is currently licensed by the Minnesota DMV. We suggest you contact Ready Driving Academy directly or the Minnesota DMV to find out if Ready Driving Academy is a fully-accredited driver training school.
Will the Minnesota DMV allow my parents to supervise my driving practice instead of requiring me to take a behind-the-wheel training course at a state-approved driving school?
Possibly. Some states will allow your parents to supervise your driving practice as a substitute to taking a behind-the-wheel driving course with a professional driving instructor. You will need to contact the Minnesota DMV to find out if your driver training may be done by your parents in Minnesota.
What happens if I don't know how to drive a manual-shift vehicle? Will Ready Driving Academy allow me to do my driver training with an automatic-shift vehicle?
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about driving any type of vehicle--stick-shift or automatic-shift! However, if you prefer to complete your driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact Ready Driving Academy and inform them before you register for their behind-the-wheel training course. That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.
The area in which I live is mostly undeveloped--very few paved roads and mountains are all around. Will Ready Driving Academy be able to teach me how to drive safely on bumpy terrain as well as in a city or town?
Considering that you live in a remote area, chances are excellent that a local driving school like Ready Driving Academy will want you to be able to drive safely on unpaved roads and other types of bumpy terrain. You may wish to contact Ready Driving Academy to find out exactly what their behind-the-wheel training course includes before registering for their training course.
I just turned 14 years old. Am I eligible to receive my learner's permit in Minnesota?
Probably not. The minimum age requirement for holding a learners permit in most states is 15 1/2. You should contact the Minnesota Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driving school such as Ready Driving Academy to find out more information about the minimum age requirement in Minnesota.
Do you know if the laws in Minnesota require new teen-aged drivers to enroll in a driver training course in addition to a drivers education classroom or online course?
The laws vary from state to state, but many states do require you to register for a behind-the-wheel training course with "hands-on" practice in addition to a drivers education classroom or online course.
Minnesota law says that I must successfully complete a behind-the-wheel training course in order to get licensed to drive in La Crescent Minnesota. Is this something that Ready Driving Academy can help me with?

What type of driver ed do I need before Minnesota will give me a driver's license?
Each state has its own requirements concerning drivers education, although you should know that most states now require all new, young drivers to complete a drivers education classroom or online course as well as a driver training course. Ready Driving Academy may be able to help you fulfill the driver training requirement in Minnesota. Please contact either Ready Driving Academy or the Minnesota DMV for more information.
