GENERAL DRIVING SCHOOL FAQ's

GENERAL DRIVING SCHOOL's contact information is listed on your webpage. How can I know for sure if it is an approved driver training school in New Jersey?
Even though we provide a list of behind-the-wheel training schools on our website, we have no way of knowing for sure as to whether or not a particular school is licensed by the New Jersey DMV to offer driver training courses.  We strongly suggest that you contact GENERAL DRIVING SCHOOL directly or check with the New Jersey DMV to find out for sure if GENERAL DRIVING SCHOOL is a licensed school.
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 Jersey?
Each state has its own laws regarding behind-the-wheel training.  Some states will allow parentally-supervised behind-the-wheel training as a substitute for attending a behind-the-wheel training course which is taught by a professional driving instructor.  However, not all states allow this.  You should contact the New Jersey DMV to find out for sure.
What if I don't know how to drive a vehicle with a manual-shift? Does GENERAL DRIVING SCHOOL have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll let me train with?
Since you're just learning how to drive, you probably don't know how to operate either a stick-shift or an automatic-shift vehicle!  However, if you have a preference as to a manual or an automatic, you probably should call GENERAL DRIVING SCHOOL to see if they can accommodate your request prior to your enrolling in their driver training course.
The area in which I live is mostly undeveloped--very few paved roads and mountains are all around. Will GENERAL DRIVING SCHOOL be able to teach me how to drive safely on rugged terrain as well as in a city or town?
Considering that you live in a rural area, chances are excellent that a local driving school like GENERAL DRIVING SCHOOL will want you to be able to drive safely on unpaved roads and other types of bumpy terrain.  You may wish to contact GENERAL DRIVING SCHOOL to find out exactly what their behind-the-wheel training course includes before signing up to take their training course.
Can I get my New Jersey instruction permit once I turn 14?
Most likely, no.  Most states have set the youngest age to obtain a learner's permit at 15 or 15½.  You may want to contact the New Jersey Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a certified driving instruction school like GENERAL DRIVING SCHOOL to learn more about the minimum age requirement in New Jersey.
Can I take GENERAL DRIVING SCHOOL's driver training course before taking a DUMONT New Jersey drivers education classroom course or online course?
It depends on what New Jersey's laws say.  However, you should know that most states will require teen-aged, first-time drivers to complete both a defensive driving classroom course (which are approximately 30 hours in length, depending on New Jersey's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved driver training course.  We recommend that you contact GENERAL DRIVING SCHOOL directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
I have to complete a safe driving class in DUMONT New Jersey before New Jersey will give me my driver's license. Does GENERAL DRIVING SCHOOL offer this type of course?
GENERAL DRIVING SCHOOL does offer the safe driver training course in DUMONT New Jersey that is required by the State of New Jersey.  You will need to contact GENERAL DRIVING SCHOOL directly for more information about the behind-the-wheel courses they offer and their class schedules.
What do I need to do to obtain a driver's license in DUMONT New Jersey?
It depends on New Jersey's laws, but most states require new, teen-aged drivers to sign up to take a drivers education classroom course as well as a driver training course.  You may want to call GENERAL DRIVING SCHOOL to see if they offer the driver training course that would satisfy the regulations set forth by the New Jersey DMV.
Is a driver training course a prerequisite in DUMONT New Jersey for me to get a drivers license?
The law in New Jersey requires that all drivers complete a driver training course as part of their driver education.  You should contact GENERAL DRIVING SCHOOL directly to find out about the types of courses they offer.
Can I sign up to take a New Jersey-licensed driver training course even if I don't have my New Jersey instruction permit yet?
Most likely, no.  Most states have laws that require a pre-licensed driver to have obtained a New Jersey instruction permit before registering in a New Jersey driver training course.  It would be best for you to contact a driving school such as GENERAL DRIVING SCHOOL and ask for more information.
