Could I just have my mother or father teach me how to drive instead of paying money to take a professional driver training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which permit you to do your hands-on driver training with a parent or guardian instead of attending a professional driving school. However many states require that new drivers take a professionally-taught driver training course. We recommend that you ask your state's DMV office to find out if your parent or guardian can fill the role as your behind-the-wheel driving instructor.
