Bernard Pitchford FAQ's
Bernard Pitchford is listed on your website as a driving school which offers behind-the-wheel training courses. How do I know if Bernard Pitchford is a licensed school in Virginia?
While we include a list of driving schools on our website for your convenience, we cannot guarantee that every single one of them is currently licensed by the Virginia DMV. We suggest you contact Bernard Pitchford directly or the Virginia DMV to find out if Bernard Pitchford is a fully-accredited driving school.
Will the Virginia 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 as a substitute to taking a behind-the-wheel driving course with a professional driving instructor. You will need to contact the Virginia DMV to find out if your behind-the-wheel driving may be done by your parents in Virginia.
Do I need to tell Bernard Pitchford that I need to train with an automatic-shift automobile? I don't know how to drive a manual-shift vehicle.
Most new drivers don't know how to operate either a stick-shift OR and automatic-shift car! We recommend that you ask Bernard Pitchford if you can complete your behind-the-wheel training using an automatic-shift vehicle before you register for their driver training course.
I live in a very rural area, where there are mountains and a lot of dirt roads. Do you know if Bernard Pitchford teaches students how to drive in rural areas like where I live instead of just driving on smooth, paved roads in urban areas?
Since you live in a remote area, a local driving school such as Bernard Pitchford will tailor your driver training to handle the conditions in your area.
Can I apply for my Virginia instruction permit once I turn 14?
Most likely, no. Most states have set the youngest age to obtain a learner's permit at 15 or 15½. You may want to contact the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driver training school like Bernard Pitchford to learn more about the minimum age requirement in Virginia.
Can I take Bernard Pitchford's driver training course before taking a HENRICO Virginia defensive driving classroom course or online course?
It depends on what Virginia's laws say. However, you should know that most states will require teen-aged, first-time drivers to complete both a defensive driving classroom course (which are approximately 30 hours in length, depending on Virginia's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved behind-the-wheel training course. We recommend that you contact Bernard Pitchford directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
