405 Drive SmartFAQ's
Since 405 Drive Smart appears on your website, does this mean they are approved by the Ohio DMV to offer behind-the-wheel 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-certified by the Ohio DMV. You may want to call 405 Drive Smart directly to find out if they offer a state-certified behind-the-wheel training course.
Do I have to take a behind-the-wheel training course? Can't my parents just give me my driver training?
There are some states that do allow parents or guardians to provide their teen-aged kids' required driver training in order to obtain a driver's license. However many states do not allow any type of substitution for attending a professionally-taught driver training course. We suggest you contact your state's DMV to find out what the laws are in your state regarding behind-the-wheel training.
Do I need to tell 405 Drive Smart that I need to train with an automatic-shift automobile? I don't know how to drive a manual-shift automobile.
Most new drivers don't know how to operate either a manual-shift OR and automatic-shift vehicle! We recommend that you ask 405 Drive Smart if you can complete your behind-the-wheel training using an automatic-shift automobile before you sign up to take their driver training course.
I live out in the middle of nowhere. There are rural and mountain roads all around. Will 405 Drive Smart train me how to drive in BOTH rural AND city areas?
If you live in a rural or mountain town, chances are that a local driving school like 405 Drive Smart will include behind-the-wheel driver training specifically tailored to that terrain.
I'm turning 14 in a few days. Can I get a learner's permit to drive in Ohio after my 14th birthday?
Most likely, no. Most states (though not all) have laws which require that you be at least 15 or 15 1/2 before to be eligible to apply for an instruction permit. Nevertheless, you may wish to contact the Ohio DMV office or a Ohio-certified driving school such as 405 Drive Smart to find out for certain what the minimum driving age is in your local area.
Am I required to take a Hilliard Ohio classroom or online drivers education course before I can enroll in a behind-the-wheel training course through 405 Drive Smart?
This requirement varies from state to state but most states do require pre-licensed drivers to take BOTH a classroom-based driver education course (generally 30 hours in length) AND a behind-the-wheel training course. You should ask 405 Drive Smart if they offer one or both programs.

I live in Hilliard 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 driver training course. 405 Drive Smart 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 hands-on driver training required in Ohio in order to be licensed to drive a car?
Absolutely. All new drivers in Ohio must register for an approved hands-on driver training course before they can get a license to independently operate a motor vehicle.
Is it okay for me to register for a behind-the-wheel training class in Ohio before I receive my Ohio learners permit to drive?
