Safestway Driving SchoolFAQ's

Safestway Driving School is listed on your website as a driving school which offers behind-the-wheel training courses. How do I know if Safestway Driving 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 Safestway Driving School directly or the California DMV to find out if Safestway Driving School is a fully-accredited driver training school.
Do I have to take a behind-the-wheel training course? Can't my parents just give me my driver training?
There are some states that do allow parents or guardians to provide their teen-aged kids' required driver training in order to obtain a driver's license.  However many states do not allow any type of substitution for attending a professionally-taught driver training course.  We suggest you contact your state's DMV to find out what the laws are in your state regarding hands-on driving instruction.
