American Auto Driving SchoolFAQ's

Can you tell me if American Auto Driving School is a licensed driving school in New York?
Although American Auto Driving School is listed on our list of driving schools in your area, we are unable to say with certainty as to whether they are currently certified to teach driver training courses in New York.  We recommend either calling American Auto Driving School directly or the New York DMV to find out whether or not American Auto Driving School offers behind-the-wheel training courses that are state-approved.
Will the New York 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 as a substitute to taking a driver training course with a professional driving instructor.  You will need to contact the New York DMV to find out if your driver training may be done by your parents in New York.
What if I don't know how to drive a stick-shift automobile? Does American Auto Driving School have automatic-shift vehicles that I can drive when I do my driver training?
If you're taking a Yonkers New York behind-the-wheel training class, chances are you don't know how to drive ANY vehicle yet-- stick or automatic.  However, if you prefer an automatic vehicle then you should tell American Auto Driving School that prior to enrolling in the course in order to make sure they can accommodate you. 
I live in a small rural town, where there are a lot of small, unpaved roads. Will my behind-the-wheel training with American Auto Driving School include being taught how to drive in rural areas? Or do they just offer training for urban driving?
Most local driving schools will likely want their students to be taught how to drive safely in the local area.  Therefore, chances are good that the behind-the-wheel training you receive from American Auto Driving School will include handling unpaved roads and mountain driving.
I just turned 14 years old. Can I receive my instruction permit in New York?
Probably not.  The minimum age requirement for holding an instruction permit in most states is 15 1/2.  You should contact the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driving school such as American Auto Driving School to find out more information about the minimum age requirement in New York. 
Will I be required to complete both a drivers education classroom or online course and a driver training course in Yonkers New York?
It depends on which state you live in, but many states now mandate new teen-aged drivers to enroll in both a drivers education course as well as a behind-the-wheel training course.
I have to take a drivers education course in Yonkers New York. Can I meet this requirement by registering with American Auto Driving School?
Yes, American Auto Driving School offers drivers education courses in Yonkers New York.  You will need to contact American Auto Driving School directly to get more information on the types of courses they offer and when to register for a class.
What do I need to do to get a driver's license in Yonkers New York?
It depends on New York's laws, but most states require new, teen-aged drivers to enroll in a safe driving classroom course as well as a behind-the-wheel training course.  You may want to call American Auto Driving School to see if they offer the driver training course that would satisfy the regulations set forth by the New York DMV.
Is it necessary for me to sign up for a driver training course in order to get my first New York driver's license?
Yes, it is.  All teen-aged drivers applying for their first driver's license in New York must complete a state-approved driver training course.
Can I sign up to take a New York-certified driver training course even if I don't have my New York instruction permit yet?
Most likely, no.  Most states have laws that require a pre-licensed driver to have obtained a New York instruction permit before registering in a New York behind-the-wheel training course.  It would be best for you to contact a driving school such as American Auto Driving School and ask for more information.
