Top DriverFAQ's
How do I know if Top Driver is licensed by Ohio's DMV to offer driver training courses?
While we do include Top Driver's contact information in our driving school directory, we cannot say with certainty as to whether Top Driver is certified by the State of Ohio. We recommend that you either contact Top Driver directly or possibly the Ohio DMV to find out if Top Driver is a licensed driver training school.
I heard that parents can fill the role of driving instructor in Ohio, so taking a Gahanna behind-the-wheel training course like the one Top Driver offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the Ohio DMV or a licensed driver training school like Top Driver and ask them. While parent-taught driving instruction is permitted in some states, many states do NOT allow it.
Do I need to tell Top Driver that I need to train with an automatic-shift car? I don't know how to operate a manual-shift automobile.
Most new drivers don't know how to operate either a stick-shift OR and automatic-shift car! We recommend that you ask Top Driver if you can complete your driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle before you register for their driver training course.
I don't live anywhere near a city. There are unpaved roads and rugged terrain all around my house. How do I know if Top Driver will train me on how to drive in a remote area like where I live and not just teach me how to drive in a town-or city-type environment?
Since Top Driver is a local driver training company in your area, it's a safe bet that Top Driver will be motivated (or perhaps required) to teach its local customers how to drive on bumpy terrain. If you want to make certain, however, you may want to call Top Driver to find out exactly what's included in their driver training course before you register with them.
Can I apply for my Ohio learner's permit once I turn 14?
Most likely, no. Most states have set the minimum age to obtain a learner's permit at 15 or 15½. You may want to contact the Ohio Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a certified driving instruction school like Top Driver to learn more about the minimum age requirement in Ohio.
Can I take Top Driver's driver training course before taking a Gahanna Ohio defensive driving classroom course or online course?
It depends on what Ohio's laws say. However, you should know that most states will require teen-aged, first-time drivers to complete both a drivers education classroom course (which are approximately 30 hours in length, depending on Ohio's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved driver training course. We recommend that you contact Top Driver directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
Ohio law says that I must successfully complete a behind-the-wheel training course in order to get licensed to drive in Gahanna Ohio. Is this something that Top Driver can help me with?
Yes, Top Driver offers the Ohio-approved behind-the-wheel training course. For more information about their classes and instruction schedule, please contact Top Driver directly.
I live in Gahanna Ohio. What requirements must I meet to be able to get my first Ohio driver's license?
It depends on the particular laws of Ohio, but most states require teen-aged first-time license applicants to successfully complete both a drivers education classroom course and a behind-the-wheel training course. Top Driver may offer courses which would meet the behind-the-wheel training requirement, however you will need to contact them directly to find out exactly what types of courses they offer.
Is there a law in Ohio that says I have to take behind-the-wheel training in order to get my driver's license?
Yes. State law in Ohio requires that all teen-agers take an approved behind-the-wheel training course before receiving a Ohio driver's license.
Is it all right if I enroll in a driver training school like Top Driver prior to my obtaining my learner's permit?
In most states, you are required to have already received your instruction permit before you enroll in your driver training course like the one offered by Top Driver. We suggest you contact either Top Driver to find out more information.
