Essex Driving School FAQ's
Can you tell me if Essex Driving School is a certified driving school in Tennessee?
Although Essex Driving 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 Tennessee. We recommend either calling Essex Driving School directly or the Tennessee DMV to find out whether or not Essex Driving School offers driver training courses that are state-approved.
Do you know if I can do my driver training with my mother or father instead of attending a driving school like Essex Driving School?
Some states allow teen-agers to complete their behind-the-wheel training with their parents instead of attending a professional driving school. We recommend that you contact the Tennessee DMV or Essex Driving School directly to find out if Tennessee allows parent-taught driver training.
I don't know how to drive using a manual-shift. Will Essex Driving School have an automatic-shift car available that I can use for my driver training?
Since you're enrolling in a Signal Mountain Tennessee behind-the-wheel training class, chances are good that you don't know how to drive either a manual-shift OR an automatic! However, you should let Essex Driving School know what your preference is before enrolling in their behind-the-wheel class. That way you'll know for sure they will accommodate you.
Since I live way out in the country where driving on dirt roads and bumpy terrain is the norm, will Essex Driving School be able to teach me how to drive in a rural environment? Or do they only prepare you for city-driving?
Since you live in a rural area, odds are that any local driving school in your area such as Essex Driving School will want you to be able to drive safely on dirt roads and bumpy terrain. We recommend that you contact Essex Driving School directly to find out exactly what they offer.
I just turned 14 years old. Can I receive my instruction permit in Tennessee?

Am I required to take a Signal Mountain Tennessee classroom or online drivers education course before I can register for a behind-the-wheel training course through Essex Driving School?
