Four Lakes Driver Training School, Inc.FAQ's

Can you tell me if Four Lakes Driver Training School, Inc. is a certified driver training school in Wisconsin?
Although Four Lakes Driver Training School, Inc. is listed on our list of driving schools in your area, we are unable to say with certainty as to whether they are currently approved to teach behind-the-wheel training courses in Wisconsin.  We recommend either calling Four Lakes Driver Training School, Inc. directly or the Wisconsin DMV to find out whether or not Four Lakes Driver Training School, Inc. offers behind-the-wheel training courses that are state-approved.
Could I just have my mother or father teach me how to drive instead of paying money to take a professional behind-the-wheel training course?
It depends on which state you live in.  There are some states which allow you to do your behind-the-wheel training with a parent or guardian instead of attending a professional driving school.  However many states require that new drivers take a professionally-taught driver training course.  We recommend that you check with 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 you know if Four Lakes Driver Training School, Inc. will let me take my behind-the-wheel training using an automatic-shift vehicle? I don't know anything about using a manual-shift.
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know a whole lot about driving ANY type of vehicle, be it a stick OR an automatic!  Nevertheless, if you have a preference, you probably should contact Four Lakes Driver Training School, Inc. and see if they can accommodate you before registering for their behind-the-wheel training course.
I live out in the middle of nowhere. There are rural and mountain roads all around. Will Four Lakes Driver Training School, Inc. train me how to drive in BOTH rural AND city areas?
If you live in a rural or mountain community, chances are that a local driving instruction institute like Four Lakes Driver Training School, Inc. will include driving lessons specifically tailored to that terrain. 
Can I apply for my Wisconsin learner's permit once I turn 14?
Most likely, no.  Most states have set the minimum age to obtain an instruction permit at 15 or 15½.  You may want to contact the Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driver training school like Four Lakes Driver Training School, Inc. to learn more about the minimum age requirement in Wisconsin.
Do I have to complete a Madison Wisconsin drivers education classroom course or online course before enrolling in one of Four Lakes Driver Training School, Inc.'s driver training courses?
Each state has its own laws, but most states will require first-time drivers to take both a driver training course plus either a drivers education classroom course (which are about 30 hours in length) or an approved online defensive driving course.  You may want to ask Four Lakes Driver Training School, Inc. if they offer one or both programs.

Do I have to take drivers education to get a Wisconsin 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 complete both a behind-the-wheel training course in addition to a drivers education classroom or online course.  You may wish to contact the Wisconsin DMV to find out exactly what requirements you will need to meet in order to obtain your first driver's license.
Is hands-on driver training required in Wisconsin in order to be licensed to operate a motor vehicle?
Absolutely.  All new drivers in Wisconsin must register for an approved driver training course before they can be issued a license to independently operate a motor vehicle.
Is it okay for me to register for a behind-the-wheel training class in Wisconsin before I receive my Wisconsin learners permit to drive?
