Safety-First Driving School FAQ's
How do I know if Safety-First Driving School is licensed by Texas's DMV to offer driver training courses?
While we do include Safety-First Driving School's contact information in our driving school directory, we cannot say with certainty as to whether Safety-First Driving School is certified by the State of Texas. We recommend that you either contact Safety-First Driving School directly or possibly the Texas DMV to find out if Safety-First Driving School is a licensed driver training school.
Do I have to take a behind-the-wheel training course? Can't my parents just give me my behind-the-wheel training?
There are some states that do permit 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 behind-the-wheel 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 vehicle with a stick-shift? Does Safety-First Driving School have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll allow me train with?
Since you're just learning how to drive, you probably don't know how to operate either a stick-shift or an automatic-shift vehicle! However, if you have a preference as to a manual or an automatic, you probably should call Safety-First Driving School to see if they can accommodate your request prior to your enrolling in their behind-the-wheel training course.
I live out in the middle of nowhere. There are rural and mountain roads all around. Will Safety-First Driving School train me how to drive in BOTH rural AND city areas?
