Prudential Driving & Traffic School FAQ’s
Prudential Driving & Traffic School is listed on your website as a driving school which offers behind-the-wheel training courses. How do I know if Prudential Driving & Traffic School is a certified school in California?
While we include a list of driver training schools on our website for your convenience, we cannot guarantee that every single one of them is currently licensed by the California DMV. We suggest you contact Prudential Driving & Traffic School directly or the California DMV to find out if Prudential Driving & Traffic School is a fully-accredited driver training school.
Could I just have my mother or father teach me how to drive instead of paying money to enroll in a professional behind-the-wheel training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which allow you to complete your hands-on driver training with a parent or guardian instead of enrolling in a professional driving school. However many states require that first-time drivers take a professionally-taught driver training course. We recommend that you ask your state's DMV office to find out if your parent or guardian can fill the role as your behind-the-wheel driving instructor.
Do I need to tell Prudential Driving & Traffic School that I need to train with an automatic-shift automobile? I don't know how to operate a stick-shift car.
Most new drivers don't know how to operate either a manual-shift OR and automatic-shift vehicle! We recommend that you ask Prudential Driving & Traffic School if you can complete your driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle before you sign up to take their driver training course.
The area in which I live is mostly undeveloped--very few paved roads and mountains are all around. Will Prudential Driving & Traffic School be able to teach me how to drive safely on rugged terrain as well as in a city or town?
Considering that you live in a remote area, chances are excellent that a local driving school like Prudential Driving & Traffic School will want you to be able to drive safely on unpaved roads and other types of bumpy terrain. You may wish to contact Prudential Driving & Traffic School to find out exactly what their driver training course includes before registering for their training course.
If I'm 14, can I get an instruction permit to drive in California?
Possibly. However, you should be aware that most states require you to be at least 15½ years old before you can get an instruction permit. We recommend that you contact the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driving school such as Prudential Driving & Traffic School to find out exactly what the minimum age requirement is in California.
Do I have to take both a drivers education classroom course and a driver training course in Los Angeles California to get my California driver's license?
The laws vary depending on which state you live in, but most states do require that pre-licensed drivers sign up to take a defensive driving classroom course and a driver training course. You may want to call a driving instruction company like Prudential Driving & Traffic School and find out if they offer either (or both) of these programs.
California's DMV has told me that I need to take a driver training course. Do you know if Prudential Driving & Traffic School offers this course or not?
Prudential Driving & Traffic School does offer the behind-the-wheel training course that California requires all new teen-aged drivers to take. For more information about the courses Prudential Driving & Traffic School offers, we recommend that you contact Prudential Driving & Traffic School directly.
Do I have to take drivers education to get a California driver's license?
Drivers education requirements vary depending on which state you live in, but you should be aware that most states require new, teen-aged drivers to sign up to take both a behind-the-wheel training course in addition to a drivers education classroom or online course. You may wish to contact the California DMV to find out exactly what requirements you will need to satisfy in order to obtain your first driver's license.
Is it necessary for me to enroll in a behind-the-wheel training course in order to get my first California driver's license?
Yes, it is. All teen-aged drivers applying for their first driver's license in California are required to take a state-approved driver training course.
Can I register for a California-certified behind-the-wheel training course even if I don't have my California instruction permit yet?
Most likely, no. Most states have laws that require a pre-licensed driver to have obtained a California learners permit before registering in a California driver training course. It would be best for you to contact a driving school such as Prudential Driving & Traffic School and ask for more information.
