Charlie's Driving Traffic SchoolFAQ's

Charlie's Driving Traffic School's address and phone number is listed on your webpage. How can I find out if it is a licensed driver training school in California?
Even though we provide a list of behind-the-wheel training schools on our website, we have no way of knowing for sure as to whether or not a particular school is certified by the California DMV to offer driver training courses.  We strongly suggest that you contact Charlie's Driving Traffic School directly or check with the California DMV to find out for sure if Charlie's Driving Traffic School is a licensed school.
I heard that parents can fill the role of driving instructor in California, so taking a Valley Village behind-the-wheel training course like the one Charlie's Driving Traffic School offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the California DMV or a licensed driver training school like Charlie's Driving Traffic School and ask them.  While parent-taught driving instruction is permitted in some states, many states do NOT allow it.
I don't know how to drive using a manual-shift. Will Charlie's Driving Traffic School have an automatic-shift car available that I can use for my behind-the-wheel training?
Since you're enrolling in a Valley Village California driver training class, chances are good that you don't know how to drive either a manual-shift OR an automatic!  However, you should let Charlie's Driving Traffic School know what your preference is before signing up to take their behind-the-wheel class.  That way you'll know for sure they will accommodate you.
The area in which I live is mostly undeveloped--very few paved roads and mountains are all around. Will Charlie's 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 rural area, chances are excellent that a local driving school like Charlie's Driving Traffic School will want you to be able to drive safely on dirt roads and other types of bumpy terrain.  You may wish to contact Charlie's Driving Traffic School to find out exactly what their behind-the-wheel training course includes before signing up to take 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 certified driving school such as Charlie's Driving Traffic School to find out exactly what the minimum age requirement is in California.
Will I be required to complete both a drivers education classroom or online course and a behind-the-wheel training course in Valley Village California?
