I've been told that either of my parents can supervise my behind-the-wheel training, so I don't have to attend a Lexington North Carolina driving school like Carolina Driving Institution to fulfill my behind-the-wheel training requirement. Do you know if that's true or not?
You will need to contact the North Carolina DMV or a state-approved driver training school like Carolina Driving Institution to find out.  Some states do allow parent-taught driving, but many states do not.
What if I don't know how to operate a vehicle with a manual-shift? Does Carolina Driving Institution have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll let me train with?

Since I live way out in a remote location where driving on unpaved roads and rugged terrain is the norm, will Carolina Driving Institution be able to teach me how to drive in a rural environment? Or do they only prepare you for city-driving?
