South Gate Driving & TrafficFAQ's

Can you tell me if South Gate Driving & Traffic is a licensed driving school in California?
Although South Gate Driving & Traffic is listed on our list of driving schools in your area, we are unable to say with certainty as to whether they are currently certified to teach behind-the-wheel training courses in California.  We recommend either calling South Gate Driving & Traffic directly or the California DMV to find out whether or not South Gate Driving & Traffic offers hands-on driving courses that are state-approved.
Somebody told me that I can skip out of attending a driver training school if my parents give me behind-the-wheel training instead. Is that permissible in California?
Each state has its own rules regarding driver training.  Some states will allow parentally-supervised behind-the-wheel training as a substitute for enrolling in a behind-the-wheel training course which is taught by a professional driving instructor.  However, not all states allow this.  You should contact the California DMV to find out for sure.
What if I don't know how to operate a stick-shift automobile? Does South Gate Driving & Traffic have automatic-shift vehicles that I can drive when I do my driver training?
If you're taking a Cudahy California driver training class, chances are you don't know how to drive ANY vehicle yet-- manual or automatic.  However, if you prefer an automatic vehicle then you should tell South Gate Driving & Traffic that prior to registering for the course in order to make sure they can accommodate you. 
I live in a very rural area, where there are mountains and a lot of unpaved roads. Do you know if South Gate Driving & Traffic offers training for driving in rural areas like where I live instead of just driving on smooth, paved roads in city areas?
Since you live in a remote area, a local driving school such as South Gate Driving & Traffic will tailor your driver training to handle the conditions in your area.  
I'm turning 14 in a few months. Can I get a instruction permit to drive in California 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 an instruction permit.  Nevertheless, you may wish to contact the California DMV office or a California-certified driving school such as South Gate Driving & Traffic to find out for certain what the minimum driving age is in your local area.
I live in Cudahy California. Does the law say I have to successfully complete both a driver ed classroom or online course and a behind-the-wheel training course in order to be fully-licensed here?
Each state has its own laws in regards to licensing procedures.  However, most states do require that new, teen-aged drivers register for both a behind-the-wheel training course plus either a drivers education online course or drivers education classroom course .
If I need to enroll in a Cudahy California driving school, can South Gate Driving & Traffic help?
Yes.  South Gate Driving & Traffic offers driving instruction in Cudahy California.  For more information about the type of behind-the-wheel training South Gate Driving & Traffic offers and the training schedule, you should contact them directly.
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 safe driving classroom or online course as well as a driver training course.  South Gate Driving & Traffic may be able to help you meet the driver training requirement in California.  Please contact either South Gate Driving & Traffic or the California DMV for more information.
Do I have to take a Cudahy California driver training course in order to get a driver's license?
Yes.  All drivers in California must successfully complete an approved behind-the-wheel training course in order to receive a driver's license.  Please contact South Gate Driving & Traffic for information on the types of behind-the-wheel training courses they offer in Cudahy California.
Can I register for a California-approved 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 instruction permit before registering in a California driver training course.  It would be best for you to contact a driving school such as South Gate Driving & Traffic and ask for more information.
