Parent taught driver's education?

Question

Can someone other than your parent or guardian

teach you how to drive?

Well,both of my parents do not have a driver's licence and they don't drive.

But my brother does,he's 27 and has a driver's licence.

P.S. I am 16 and turning 17 next month,do you think I will eligible to have my permit.

Answer 1

Anyone who is licensed can teach you to drive, but it is stil good to have real drivers education, so you don't pick up on other people bad habits.  My daughter will be taught by me and my husband but she will also go to driving school. Along with being taught physically to drive it is good to read and reread the manual over and over at least once a day until you take your test.  That way it is ingrained in your head and you will pass your test.

Answer 2

You need to check your states requirements because here is an example for Texas...........

The Parent Taught Driver Education Program is available to teenagers between the ages of 14 and 17. However, before the instructor (parent, stepparent, grandparent, step-grandparent, foster parent or legal guardian) begins teaching this course, the instructor must have a valid TEXAS driver license for the preceding three years. Active US military personnel and their spouse may participate as instructors if they hold a valid license from their state of permanent residence or last duty station for the preceding three years..

The instructor cannot have a conviction (including a probated sentence) of criminally negligent homicide or driving while intoxicated. The instructor's license may not be suspended, revoked, or forfeited in the past three years for traffic related violations. Furthermore, the instructor may not be disabled due to mental illness. Questions as to mental stability will be forwarded to the Medical Advisory Board for determination.

It is the responsibility of the instructor to check both their criminal and driver records prior to requesting the packet. The Department will not check the instructor's record until issuance of the instruction permit or provisional driver license to the student. If at that time it is determined that the instructor has a prohibited conviction the instruction permit or provisional driver license will be denied and all prior classroom or behind the wheel/in car instruction credit is invalid.

Answer 3

In my state, you need a parent/guardian that has had a license for over 5 years to drive someone with a permit.

So you can get your uncles or aunts or other family relatives to drive you around.

Your brother can also drive you around as long as he had his license for over 5 years.

I would look up your States Vehicle Administration to see what is/not allowed.
