Advanced Driving SchoolFAQ's

Since Advanced Driving School is listed on your website, does this mean they are approved by the Illinois DMV to offer driver training courses?
The list of driver training schools on our webpage is provided as a convenience to our customers only.  We CANNOT guarantee that every single school listed is fully-approved by the Illinois DMV.  You may want to call Advanced Driving School directly to find out if they offer a state-certified behind-the-wheel training course.
Could I just have my mother or father give me my behind-the-wheel training instead of paying money to attend a professional behind-the-wheel training course?
It depends on which state you live in.  There are some states which permit you to do your hands-on driver training with a parent or guardian instead of attending a professional driving school.  However many states require that first-time drivers take a professionally-taught driver training course.  We recommend that you ask your state's DMV office to find out if your parent or guardian can fill the role as your behind-the-wheel driving instructor.
I can't drive a manual-shift. Will Advanced Driving School allow me to complete my driver training on an automatic-shift vehicle?
We recommend that you contact Advanced Driving School and ask them if you can do your behind-the-wheel training using a vehicle that has an automatic shift before enrolling in their driver training course.
I live in a very remote area, where there are mountains and a lot of unpaved roads. Do you know if Advanced Driving School teaches students how to drive 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 Advanced Driving School will tailor your behind-the-wheel training to handle the conditions in your area.  
Are 14-year-olds allowed to apply for a instruction permit in Illinois?
Although a few states allow teen-agers to begin practicing how to drive at 14, most states have set the minimum age for which to hold an instruction permit at either 15 or 15½.  You will need to contact the Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driving instruction company like Advanced Driving School to find out what the minimum age for driving is in Illinois. 
Do I have to take both a defensive driving classroom course and a driver training course in Granite City Illinois to get my Illinois driver's license?
