Hands-On Driving School FAQ's
Is Hands-On Driving School a licensed driving school in Illinois?
Just because a driving school appears on our directory of driver training institutions, we cannot guarantee that they are fully licensed to offer behind-the-wheel training courses in Illinois. We highly recommend that you contact Hands-On Driving School directly or the Illinois DMV to find out for sure if Hands-On Driving School offers behind-the-wheel training courses that have been approved by the State of Illinois.
I heard that parents can fill the role of driving supervisor in Illinois, so taking a Streamwood driver training course like the one Hands-On Driving School offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the Illinois DMV or a licensed driver training school like Hands-On Driving School and ask them. While parent-taught driving instruction is permitted in some states, many states do NOT allow it.
What happens if I don't know how to drive a stick-shift vehicle? Will Hands-On Driving School allow me to do my driver training with an automatic-shift car?
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about operating any type of car--stick-shift or automatic-shift! However, if you prefer to complete your driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact Hands-On Driving School and let them know before you enroll in their behind-the-wheel training course. That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.
I live in a very rural area, where there are mountains and a lot of dirt roads. Do you know if Hands-On Driving School teaches students how to drive in rural areas like where I live instead of just driving on smooth, paved roads in urban areas?

Can I apply for my Illinois instruction permit once I turn 14?
