Are all the driving schools listed on your website fully-licensed by the Minnesota DMV to offer driver training courses in Minnesota?
The driving school directory on our website is for your convenience only, and we cannot absolutely guarantee that every driving school listed is currently licensed to offer driving training courses in Minnesota.  We suggest you contact the Minnesota DMV to make sure a particular driver training school is licensed before you sign up to take their driver training course.
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 driver training school instructor like the ones they have at Sears Authorized Driving School (Minnetonka)?

What if I don't know how to drive a vehicle with a manual-shift? Does Sears Authorized Driving School (Minnetonka) have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll let me train with?

After I turn 14, will I be eligible to get my learner's permit so I can begin to learn how to drive?
