Uptown Driver Training FAQ's

Is Uptown Driver Training certified by the Illinois DMV to offer driver training courses?
Although we include Uptown Driver Training in our directory of driving schools for Galesburg Illinois, we cannot make any assurances about whether or not Uptown Driver Training is certified by the Illinois DMV.  You should contact Uptown Driver Training directly and ask them if you are thinking about signing up to take their Galesburg Illinois driver training class.
I've been told that either of my parents can supervise my driver training, so I don't have to attend a Galesburg Illinois driving school like Uptown Driver Training to fulfill my behind-the-wheel training requirement. Do you know if that's true or not?
You will need to contact the Illinois DMV or a state-approved driving school like Uptown Driver Training to find out.  Some states do allow parent-taught driving, but many states do not.
Do you know if Uptown Driver Training will let me take my driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle? I don't know anything about using a manual-shift.
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know a whole lot about driving ANY type of vehicle, be it a stick OR an automatic!  Nevertheless, if you have a preference, you probably should contact Uptown Driver Training and see if they can accommodate you before registering for their behind-the-wheel training course.
I live out in the middle of nowhere. There are rural and mountain roads all around. Will Uptown Driver Training teach me how to drive in BOTH rural AND city areas?
If you live in a rural or mountain community, chances are that a local driving school like Uptown Driver Training will include driving lessons specifically tailored to that terrain. 
If I'm 14, can I get a driver's permit to drive in Illinois?
Possibly.  However, you should be aware that most states require you to be at least 15½ years old before you can get a learner's permit.  We recommend that you contact the Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driving school such as Uptown Driver Training to find out exactly what the minimum age requirement is in Illinois.
Do I have to take both a drivers education classroom course and a driver training course in Galesburg Illinois to get my Illinois driver's license?
The laws vary depending on which state you live in, but most states do require that pre-licensed drivers register for a drivers education classroom course and a driver training course.  You may want to call a driving instruction company like Uptown Driver Training and find out if they offer either (or both) of these programs.
I have to take a defensive driving course in Galesburg Illinois. Can I meet this requirement by registering with Uptown Driver Training?

What steps do I have to take in order to get a Illinois drivers license in Galesburg Illinois?

Is hands-on driver training required in Illinois in order to be licensed to drive a car?

Will Illinois allow me to register for a behind-the-wheel training course before I actually get my learner's permit?
