I heard that parents can fill the role of driving supervisor in New York, so taking a Beacon behind-the-wheel training course like the one Ben's Auto Driving School offers is not necessary. Is that true?

However, if you prefer to complete your driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact Ben's Auto Driving School and let them know before you sign up to take their behind-the-wheel training course.
