Universal Driving & Traffic School FAQ's

Can you tell me if Universal Driving & Traffic School is a licensed driving school in California?
Although Universal Driving & Traffic School is listed on our list of driving schools in your area, we are unable to say with certainty as to whether they are currently approved to teach hands-on driving courses in California.  We recommend either calling Universal Driving & Traffic School directly or the California DMV to find out whether or not Universal Driving & Traffic School offers driver training courses that are state-approved.
Do I have to take a behind-the-wheel training course? Can't my parents just give me my driver training?
There are some states that do allow parents or guardians to provide their teen-aged kids' required behind-the-wheel training in order to obtain a driver's license.  However many states do not allow any type of substitution for taking a professionally-taught driver training course.  We suggest you contact your state's DMV to find out what the laws are in your state regarding behind-the-wheel training.
What happens if I don't know how to drive a manual-shift vehicle? Will Universal Driving & Traffic 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 vehicle--stick-shift or automatic-shift!  However, if you prefer to complete your driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact Universal Driving & Traffic School and let them know before you register for their behind-the-wheel training course.  That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.
I live in a very remote area, where there are mountains and a lot of dirt roads. Do you know if Universal Driving & Traffic School offers training for driving in rural areas like where I live instead of just driving on smooth, paved roads in urban areas?
Since you live in a rural area, a local driving school such as Universal Driving & Traffic School will tailor your behind-the-wheel training to handle the conditions in your area.  
Now that I'm 14, will California allow me to get a learner's permit to drive?
Not likely.  Most states require residents to be at least 15 or 15 1/2 years old before applying for a learner's permit.  We recommend that your contact the California DMV office or a California-approved driver training institute such as Universal Driving & Traffic School to learn more about the minimum driving age requirement in California.
Can I take Universal Driving & Traffic School's driver training course before taking a Carlsbad California drivers education classroom course or online course?
It depends on what California's laws say.  However, you should know that most states will require teen-aged, first-time drivers to complete both a drivers education classroom course (which are approximately 30 hours in length, depending on California's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved driver training course.  We recommend that you contact Universal Driving & Traffic School directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
California's DMV has told me that I need to take a behind-the-wheel training course. Do you know if Universal Driving & Traffic School offers this course or not?
Universal Driving & Traffic School does offer the driver training course that California requires all new teen-aged drivers to take.  For more information about the courses Universal Driving & Traffic School offers, we recommend that you contact Universal Driving & Traffic School directly.
