Alcantara Driving School FAQ's

Are all the driving schools listed on your website fully-accredited by the Maryland DMV to offer driver training courses in Maryland?
The driving school directory on our website is for your convenience only, and we cannot absolutely guarantee that every driving school listed is currently certified to offer behind-the-wheel training courses in Maryland.  We suggest you contact the Maryland DMV to make sure a particular driving school is certified before you sign up to take their driver training course.
Will the Maryland 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 in place of taking a behind-the-wheel driving course with a professional driving instructor.  You will need to contact the Maryland DMV to find out if your driver training may be done by your parents in Maryland.
I can't drive a stick-shift. Will Alcantara Driving School allow me to do my behind-the-wheel training on an automatic-shift vehicle?
We recommend that you contact Alcantara Driving School and ask them if you can do your behind-the-wheel training using a vehicle that has an automatic shift before enrolling in their behind-the-wheel training course.
I live in a remote area, that has a lot of dirt roads and rugged terrain. Will Alcantara Driving School teach me how to drive in BOTH city AND rural environments?
If you live in a rural area, chances are very good that a local driver training school like Alcantara Driving School will want you to be trained in driving specific to the local area's terrain.
Now that I'm 14, will Maryland allow me to get an instruction permit to drive?
Not likely.  Most states require residents to be at least 15 or 15 1/2 years old before applying for an instruction permit.  We recommend that your contact the Maryland DMV office or a Maryland-approved driver training institute such as Alcantara Driving School to learn more about the minimum driving age requirement in Maryland.
Will I be required to register for both a drivers education classroom or online course and a behind-the-wheel training course in Silver Spring Maryland?
It depends on which state you live in, but many states now mandate new teen-aged drivers to sign up for both a drivers education course as well as a driver training course.
Maryland's DMV has told me that I need to take a behind-the-wheel training course. Do you know if Alcantara Driving School offers this course or not?

How do I obtain a drivers license in Silver Spring Maryland?

Is there a law in Maryland that says I have to take driver training in order to get my driver's license?
Yes.  State law in Maryland mandates that all teen-agers enroll in an approved behind-the-wheel training course before receiving a Maryland driver's license.
Can I sign up to take a Maryland behind-the-wheel training course prior to having my Maryland learners permit?
