Smile Driving School FAQ's
Since Smile Driving School appears on your website, does this mean they are approved by the California DMV to offer driver training courses?
The list of driving schools on our webpage is provided as a convenience to our customers only. We CANNOT guarantee that every single school listed is fully-approved by the California DMV. You may want to call Smile Driving School directly to find out if they offer a state-certified behind-the-wheel training course.
I heard that parents can fill the role of driving supervisor in California, so taking a Artesia behind-the-wheel training course like the one Smile Driving School offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the California DMV or a licensed driver training school like Smile Driving School and ask them. While parent-taught driving instruction is permitted in some states, many states do NOT allow it.
Do you know if Smile Driving School will let me take my driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle? I don't know anything about using a manual-shift.
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know a whole lot about driving ANY type of vehicle, be it a stick OR an automatic! Nevertheless, if you have a preference, you probably should contact Smile Driving School and see if they can accommodate you before signing up to take their behind-the-wheel training course.
I live in a remote area, that has a lot of dirt roads and bumpy terrain. Will Smile Driving School teach me how to drive in BOTH city AND rural environments?
If you live in a remote area, chances are very good that a local driver training school like Smile Driving School will want you to be taught how to drive safely on the local area's terrain.
Can I apply for my California instruction permit once I turn 14?
Most likely, no. Most states have set the minimum age to obtain a learner's permit at 15 or 15½. You may want to contact the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a certified driving instruction school like Smile Driving School to learn more about the minimum age requirement in California.
Am I required to take a Artesia California classroom or online drivers education course before I can register for a driver training course through Smile Driving School?
This requirement varies from state to state but most states do require new teen-aged drivers to take BOTH a classroom-based driver education course (generally 30 hours in length) AND a behind-the-wheel training course. You should ask Smile Driving School if they offer one or both programs.
