Allen's Driving School FAQ's
How do I know if Allen's Driving School is certified by New York's DMV to offer driver training courses?
While we do include Allen's Driving School's contact information in our driving school directory, we cannot say with certainty as to whether Allen's Driving School is licensed by the State of New York. We recommend that you either contact Allen's Driving School directly or possibly the New York DMV to find out if Allen's Driving School is a licensed driver training school.
I heard that parents can fill the role of driving supervisor in New York, so taking a South Glens Falls driving school course like the one Allen's Driving School offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the New York DMV or a licensed driver training school like Allen's Driving School and ask them. While parent-taught driving instruction is permitted in some states, many states do NOT allow it.
I have no clue how to drive a manual-shift vehicle. What happens if Allen's Driving School makes me train on a manual-shift vehicle?
Considering the fact you are a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about operating ANY type of vehicle....manual OR automatic! If you prefer to do your behind-the-wheel training with an automatic-shift vehicle, you may want to call Allen's Driving School and let them know before you enroll in their driver training course. That way you'll know for certain whether Allen's Driving School can accommodate you before you pay them any money.
I live in a small rural community, where there are a lot of small, unpaved roads. Will my behind-the-wheel training with Allen's Driving School include learning how to drive in rural 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 Allen's Driving School will include handling dirt roads and mountain driving.
After I turn 14, will I be eligible to get my instruction permit so I can begin to learn how to drive?
It depends on which state you live in, however most states unfortunately require you to be at least 15 (or sometimes 15 1/2) before you can be issued a learner's permit. We suggest that you contact a local driver training school such as Allen's Driving School or the New York DMV office to learn more about the minimum age requirement for driving in New York.
Do I have to complete a South Glens Falls New York drivers education classroom course or online course before enrolling in one of Allen's Driving School's behind-the-wheel training courses?
Each state has its own rules, but most states will require first-time drivers to take both a behind-the-wheel training course plus either a drivers education classroom course (which are about 30 hours in length) or an approved online drivers education course. You may want to ask Allen's Driving School if they offer one or both programs.

What does the law in New York say about driver training courses? Do I have to take one to get my driver's license?
Yes, you do. New York law states that new drivers take an approved driver training course as a prerequisite to getting their first driver's license.
Will New York allow me to enroll in a behind-the-wheel training course before I actually receive my instruction permit?
