First Gear Driving School FAQ's
First Gear Driving School's contact information is listed on your webpage. How can I find out if it is a licensed behind the wheel training school in Texas?
Even though we provide a list of driver training schools on our website, we have no way of knowing for sure as to whether or not a particular school is licensed by the Texas DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses. We strongly suggest that you contact First Gear Driving School directly or check with the Texas DMV to find out for sure if First Gear Driving School is a licensed school.
Is it true that my mom or dad can be my driving instructor when I do my driver training instead of a professional driver training school instructor like the ones they have at First Gear Driving School?
It depends on what your state's laws are. You should contact the Texas DMV or a licensed driving school like First Gear Driving School to find out if Texas allows driver training with a parent.
What if I don't know how to drive a vehicle with a manual-shift? Does First Gear Driving School have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll allow me train with?
Since you're just learning how to drive, you probably don't know how to operate either a manual-shift or an automatic-shift vehicle! However, if you have a preference as to a stick or an automatic, you probably should call First Gear Driving School to see if they can accommodate your request prior to your enrolling in their driver training course.
Since I live way out in the country where driving on dirt roads and rugged terrain is the norm, will First Gear Driving School be able to teach me how to drive in a rural environment? Or do they only prepare you for city-driving?
Since you live in a remote location, odds are that any local driving school in your area such as First Gear Driving School will want you to be able to drive safely on dirt roads and bumpy terrain. We recommend that you contact First Gear Driving School directly to find out exactly what they offer.
I'm turning 14 in a few months. Can I get a instruction permit to drive in Texas after my 14th birthday?
Most likely, no. Most states (though not all) have laws which require that you be at least 15 or 15 1/2 before to be eligible to apply for a learner's permit. Nevertheless, you may wish to contact the Texas DMV office or a Texas-certified driving school such as First Gear Driving School to find out for certain what the minimum driving age is in your local area.
