New Start Driving School FAQ’s
Since New Start Driving School is listed on your website, does this mean they've been approved by the California DMV to offer behind-the-wheel 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-certified by the California DMV. You may want to call New Start 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 Hacienda Heights driving school course like the one New Start Driving School offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the California DMV or a licensed driver training school like New Start 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 New Start 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 operating any type of car--manual-shift or automatic-shift! However, if you prefer to complete your driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact New Start Driving School and inform them before you register for their driver training course. That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.
I live out in the middle of nowhere. There are rural and mountain roads everywhere. Will New Start Driving School train me how to drive in BOTH rural AND city areas?
If you live in a rural or mountain town, chances are that a local driving school like New Start Driving School will include driving lessons specifically tailored to that terrain.Â
Now that I'm 14, will California allow me to get a learner's permit to drive?
Not likely. Most states require residents to be at least 15 or 15 1/2 years old before applying for an instruction permit. We recommend that your contact the California DMV office or a California-approved driver training institute such as New Start Driving School to learn more about the minimum driving age requirement in California.
Do you know if the laws in California require new teen-aged drivers to take a driver training course in addition to a drivers education classroom or online course?
The laws vary from state to state, but many states do require you to enroll in a driver training course with "hands-on" practice in addition to a drivers education classroom or online course.
Does New Start Driving School provide a driver training course like the one that is required by the State of California? I need to register for one in order to obtain my driver license.
New Start Driving School offers hands-on driver training courses which are approved by the California DMV.  You may want to contact New Start Driving School directly for more information about their courses and how to go about signing up for one.
What type of driver ed do I need before California will give me a driver's license?
Each state has its own requirements concerning drivers education, although you should know that most states now mandate all new, young drivers to sign up to take a drivers education classroom or online course as well as a driver training course. New Start Driving School may be able to help you fulfill the driver training requirement in California. Please contact either New Start Driving School or the California DMV for more information.
What are the laws in California concerning driver training courses? Do I have to take one to get my driver's license?
Yes, you do. California law states that new drivers enroll in an approved driver training course as a prerequisite to getting their first driver's license.Â
Can I register for a California-licensed driver training course even if I don't have my California learners permit yet?
Most likely, no. Most states have laws that mandate a pre-licensed driver to have obtained a California instruction permit before registering in a California driver training course. It would be best for you to contact a driving school such as New Start Driving School and ask for more information.
