Defensive Driving Co. of America FAQ's

Is Defensive Driving Co. of America certified by the Texas DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses?
Although we include Defensive Driving Co. of America in our directory of driving schools for Grand Prairie Texas, we cannot make any assurances about whether or not Defensive Driving Co. of America is licensed by the Texas DMV.  You should contact Defensive Driving Co. of America directly and ask them if you are thinking about enrolling in their Grand Prairie Texas driver training class.
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 permit parents or guardians to provide their teen-aged kids' required driver training in order to obtain a driver's license.  However many states do not allow any type of substitution for taking a professionally-taught behind-the-wheel training course.  We suggest you contact your state's DMV to find out what the laws are in your state regarding hands-on driving instruction.
What happens if I don't know how to operate a stick-shift vehicle? Will Defensive Driving Co. of America allow me to do my driver training with an automatic-shift automobile?
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 Defensive Driving Co. of America and let them know before you enroll in their behind-the-wheel training course.  That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.
I live in a small mountain town, where there are a lot of small, unpaved roads. Will my driver training with Defensive Driving Co. of America include learning how to drive in remote areas? Or do they just offer training for urban driving?
Most local driving schools will likely want their students to know how to drive safely in the local area.  Therefore, chances are good that the driver training you receive from Defensive Driving Co. of America will include handling unpaved roads and mountain driving.
Can I get my Texas learner's permit once I turn 14?
Most likely, no.  Most states have set the minimum age to obtain an instruction permit at 15 or 15½.  You may want to contact the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a certified driver training school like Defensive Driving Co. of America to learn more about the minimum age requirement in Texas.
