Sunshine Safety Council, Inc. (Orange City)FAQ's

Is Sunshine Safety Council, Inc. (Orange City) a licensed driving school in Florida?
Just because a driving school appears on our directory of driver training institutions, we cannot guarantee that they are fully licensed to offer behind-the-wheel training courses in Florida.  We highly recommend that you contact Sunshine Safety Council, Inc. (Orange City) directly or the Florida DMV to find out for sure if Sunshine Safety Council, Inc. (Orange City) offers behind-the-wheel training courses that have been approved by the State of Florida.
I heard that parents can fill the role of driving instructor in Florida, so taking a Orange City driving school course like the one Sunshine Safety Council, Inc. (Orange City) offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the Florida DMV or a licensed driving school like Sunshine Safety Council, Inc. (Orange City) and ask them.  While parent-taught driving instruction is permitted in some states, many states do NOT allow it.
What if I don't know how to drive a vehicle with a stick-shift? Does Sunshine Safety Council, Inc. (Orange City) have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll let me train with?
Since you're just learning how to drive, you probably don't know how to operate either a stick-shift or an automatic-shift vehicle!  However, if you have a preference as to a stick or an automatic, you probably should call Sunshine Safety Council, Inc. (Orange City) to see if they can accommodate your request prior to your signing up to take their behind-the-wheel training course.
I live in a remote area, that has a lot of dirt roads and bumpy terrain. Will Sunshine Safety Council, Inc. (Orange City) train me how to drive in BOTH city AND rural environments?

Can I get my Florida learner's permit once I turn 14?
Most likely, no.  Most states have set the youngest age to obtain a learner's permit at 15 or 15½.  You may want to contact the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driving instruction school like Sunshine Safety Council, Inc. (Orange City) to learn more about the minimum age requirement in Florida.
Am I required to take a Orange City Florida classroom or online drivers education course before I can sign up to take a driver training course through Sunshine Safety Council, Inc. (Orange City)?
