A Metropolitan Driving School FAQ's
A Metropolitan Driving School's address and phone number is listed on your webpage. How can I find out if it is an approved driver training school in Virginia?
Even though we provide a list of behind-the-wheel training schools on our website, we have no way of knowing for sure as to whether or not a particular school is certified by the Virginia DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses. We strongly suggest that you contact A Metropolitan Driving School directly or check with the Virginia DMV to find out for sure if A Metropolitan Driving School is a licensed school.
Could I just have my mother or father teach me how to drive instead of paying money to take a professional driver training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which allow you to do your hands-on driver training with a parent or guardian instead of attending a professional driving school. However many states require that first-time drivers take a professionally-taught driver training course. We recommend that you check with your state's DMV office to find out if your parent or guardian can fill the role as your behind-the-wheel driving instructor.
What happens if I don't know how to operate a stick-shift vehicle? Will A Metropolitan Driving School allow me to do my driver training with an automatic-shift vehicle?
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about driving any type of vehicle--stick-shift or automatic-shift! However, if you prefer to complete your behind-the-wheel training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact A Metropolitan Driving School and inform them before you register for their behind-the-wheel training course. That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.
