Frequently Asked Questions

Are you state licensed and bonded?

Yes, Buckle-Up Driving School is state licensed and bonded.

At what age can I start driver’s education?

You must be 14 to begin driver’s education but you have to be 15 to take your permit (knowledge) test. Buckle Up no longer offers classroom education.

Does Buckle Up Driving School offer in-class education?

No, Buckle up driving school only offers behind-the-wheel training.  

How does the Behind –the – Wheel work?

After you receive your permit, you can call me to schedule your first Behind – the – Wheel lesson. The first lesson is 2 hours and is scheduled about 30 days after permit. I recommend driving with a parent or guardian as often as you can to get more comfortable with driving. The remaining 2 lessons will be divided up within the time the student has to hold his/her permit.

What do I need to take my road test?

You will need your permit, your “white card” (which you will receive from me on final lesson), signed and completed log sheet, vehicle insurance card, and your Social Security Number. Please make sure vehicle is eligible for the road test. Review your driver’s manual pg. 7 for vehicle requirements.

What if I took my 30 hours classroom with a different driving school, can I take the Behind-the-Wheel with Buckle-Up?

Yes, you can. Just bring your “letter of course completion” from your previous Drivers Education. Once I have the letter I will sign you up for Behind-the-Wheel and complete the “blue card”. You than can go and take your permit test.

Why should I choose Buckle-Up Driving School for my child?

I understand how important it is for your child to receive the highest quality education for the knowledge test and the Behind-the Wheel lessons. At Buckle-Up our mission is to provide your child the knowledge, skills, and hands on techniques to be a safe, responsible, and educated driver on the roads today.
