Do I have to take a driver training course? Can't my parents just give me my behind-the-wheel training?
There are some states that do allow parents or guardians to provide their teen-aged kids' required behind-the-wheel training in order to obtain a driver's license.

We suggest you contact your state's DMV to find out what the laws are in your state regarding hands-on driving instruction.

However, if you prefer an automatic vehicle then you should tell Park Grove Driving School that prior to registering for the course in order to make sure they can accommodate you.
