Ken-Ton School of Driving FAQ's

Is Ken-Ton School of Driving licensed by the New York DMV to offer driver training courses?
Although we include Ken-Ton School of Driving in our directory of driving schools for Buffalo New York, we cannot make any assurances about whether or not Ken-Ton School of Driving is certified by the New York DMV.  You should contact Ken-Ton School of Driving directly and ask them if you are thinking about signing up to take their Buffalo New York driver training class.
Is it true that my mom or dad can be my driving instructor when I do my behind-the-wheel training instead of a professional driving school instructor like the ones they have at Ken-Ton School of Driving?
It depends on what your state's laws are.  You should contact the New York DMV or a licensed driver training school like Ken-Ton School of Driving to find out if New York allows driver training with a parent.
What if I don't know how to operate a vehicle with a manual-shift? Does Ken-Ton School of Driving have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll allow me train with?
Since you're just learning how to drive, you probably don't know how to operate either a manual-shift or an automatic-shift vehicle!  However, if you have a preference as to a manual or an automatic, you probably should call Ken-Ton School of Driving to see if they can accommodate your request prior to your signing up to take their behind-the-wheel training course.
Since I live way out in a remote location where driving on dirt roads and bumpy terrain is the norm, will Ken-Ton School of Driving be able to teach me how to drive in a rural environment? Or do they only prepare you for city-driving?
Since you live in the country, odds are that any local driving school in your area such as Ken-Ton School of Driving will want you to be able to drive safely on dirt roads and rugged terrain.  We recommend that you contact Ken-Ton School of Driving directly to find out exactly what they offer.
I'm turning 14 in a few days. Can I get a learner's permit to drive in New York after my 14th birthday?
Most likely, no.  Most states (though not all) have laws which require that you be at least 15 or 15 1/2 before to be eligible to apply for a learner's permit.  Nevertheless, you may wish to contact the New York DMV office or a New York-certified driving school such as Ken-Ton School of Driving to find out for certain what the minimum driving age is in your local area.
Can I take Ken-Ton School of Driving's behind-the-wheel training course before taking a Buffalo New York drivers education classroom course or online course?
It depends on what New York'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 York's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved behind-the-wheel training course.  We recommend that you contact Ken-Ton School of Driving directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
I have to complete a behind-the-wheel class in Buffalo New York before New York will give me my driver's license. Does Ken-Ton School of Driving offer this type of course?
Ken-Ton School of Driving does offer the behind-the-wheel training course in Buffalo New York that is required by the State of New York.  You will need to contact Ken-Ton School of Driving directly for more information about the behind-the-wheel courses they offer and their class schedules.
What steps do I have to take in order to get a New York drivers license in Buffalo New York?
