Pace Driving School FAQ's
Can you tell me if Pace Driving School is a licensed driving school in Maine?
Although Pace Driving School is listed on our list of driving schools in your area, we are unable to say with certainty as to whether they are currently certified to teach driver training courses in Maine. We recommend either calling Pace Driving School directly or the Maine DMV to find out whether or not Pace Driving School offers driver training courses that are state-approved.
I heard that parents can fill the role of driving instructor in Maine, so taking a Portland driving school course like the one Pace Driving School offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the Maine DMV or a licensed driving school like Pace Driving School and ask them. While parent-taught driving instruction is permitted in some states, many states do NOT allow it.
What happens if I don't know how to operate a manual-shift vehicle? Will Pace Driving School 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 automobile--stick-shift or automatic-shift! However, if you prefer to complete your driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact Pace Driving School 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.
Since I live way out in the country where driving on dirt roads and bumpy terrain is the norm, will Pace Driving School be able to teach me how to drive in a non-urban environment? Or do they only prepare you for city-driving?

Now that I'm 14, will Maine allow me to get an instruction permit to drive?
