Karens Driving School FAQ's

Is Karens Driving School a licensed driving school in Maine?
Just because a driving school appears on our directory of driver training institutions, we cannot guarantee that they are fully licensed to offer driver training courses in Maine.  We highly recommend that you contact Karens Driving School directly or the Maine DMV to find out for sure if Karens Driving School offers behind-the-wheel training courses that have been approved by the State of Maine.
Somebody told me that I can skip out of attending a driver training school if my parents give me behind-the-wheel training instead. Is that permissible in Maine?
Each state has its own laws regarding driver training.  Some states will allow parentally-supervised behind-the-wheel training as a substitute for attending a driver training course which is taught by a professional driving instructor.  However, not all states allow this.  You should contact the Maine DMV to find out for sure.
I can't operate a manual-shift. Will Karens Driving School allow me to do my behind-the-wheel training on an automatic-shift vehicle?

I live out in the middle of nowhere. There are rural and mountain roads all around. Will Karens Driving School train me how to drive in BOTH rural AND city areas?
