Somebody told me that I can skip out of attending a driver training school if my parents give me behind-the-wheel training instead. Is that permissible in New York?
Each state has its own rules regarding behind-the-wheel training.

However, not all states allow this. You should contact the New York DMV to find out for sure.
What if I don't know how to drive a stick-shift automobile? Does Reliable Driving School have automatic-shift vehicles that I can drive when I do my driver training?

However, if you prefer an automatic vehicle then you should tell Reliable Driving School that prior to signing up to take the course in order to make sure they can accommodate you.
