Maryland Driving AcademyFAQ's

Maryland Driving Academy's address and phone number is listed on your webpage. How can I find out if it is an approved behind the wheel training school in Maryland?
Even though we provide a list of behind-the-wheel training schools on our website, we have no way of knowing for sure as to whether or not a particular school is licensed by the Maryland DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses.  We strongly suggest that you contact Maryland Driving Academy directly or check with the Maryland DMV to find out for sure if Maryland Driving Academy is a licensed school.
Will the Maryland DMV allow my parents to supervise my driving practice instead of requiring me to take a behind-the-wheel training course at a state-approved driving school?
Possibly.  Some states will allow your parents to supervise your driving practice in place of taking a behind-the-wheel driving course with a professional driving instructor.  You will need to contact the Maryland DMV to find out if your driver training may be done by your parents in Maryland.
I have no clue how to drive a stick-shift vehicle. What happens if Maryland Driving Academy makes me train on a manual-shift vehicle?
Considering the fact you are a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about operating ANY type of vehicle....stick OR automatic!  If you prefer to do your hands-on driver training with an automatic-shift vehicle, you may want to call Maryland Driving Academy and let them know before you sign up to take their driver training course.  That way you'll know for sure whether Maryland Driving Academy can accommodate you before you pay them any money.
I live in a small rural town, where there are a lot of small, unpaved roads. Will my driver training with Maryland Driving Academy include being taught how to drive in rural areas? Or do they just offer training for city driving?
Most local driving schools will likely want their students to know how to drive safely in the local area.  Therefore, chances are good that the driver training you receive from Maryland Driving Academy will include handling dirt roads and mountain driving.
Can 14-year-olds get instruction permits to drive in Maryland?
Most states have set the minimum age for applying for an instruction permit at 15 or 15 1/2.  However, some states do allow 14-year-olds to get a learner's permit.  You may want to contact the Maryland DMV or a Maryland-approved driver training school like Maryland Driving Academy to find out what the minimum age to drive is in Maryland.
Can I take Maryland Driving Academy's behind-the-wheel training course before taking a Bowie Maryland defensive driving classroom course or online course?
It depends on what Maryland's laws prescribe.  However, you should know that most states will require teen-aged, first-time drivers to complete both a defensive driving classroom course (which are approximately 30 hours in length, depending on Maryland's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved behind-the-wheel training course.  We recommend that you contact Maryland Driving Academy directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
If I need to sign up to take a Bowie Maryland driving school, can Maryland Driving Academy help?
Yes.  Maryland Driving Academy offers driving instruction in Bowie Maryland.  For more information about the type of driver training Maryland Driving Academy offers and the training schedule, you should contact them directly.
What do I need to do to get a Maryland drivers license in Bowie Maryland?
Most states require that teen-agers who are applying for their first driver's license complete both a drivers education classroom course and a driver training course.  Maryland Driving Academy may be able to help you fulfill the behind-the-wheel training portion in Maryland.  Please contact Maryland Driving Academy for more information. 

 
What does the law in Maryland say about driver training courses? Do I have to take one to get my driver's license?
Yes, you do.  Maryland law states that new drivers take an approved behind-the-wheel training course as a prerequisite to getting their first driver's license. 
Is it all right if I sign up with a behind-the-wheel training school like Maryland Driving Academy prior to my obtaining my instruction permit?
In most states, you are required to have already received your instruction permit before you register for your behind-the-wheel training course like the one offered by Maryland Driving Academy.  We suggest you contact either Maryland Driving Academy to find out more information.
