  Use of Our Car for DMV Drive Test:  Before obtaining a license, every student must take a driving test at the DMV. Students may use any vehicle for this test, and we feel that students should choose a vehicle that they are comfortable with. The vehicle used must meet the DMV requirements to be used for a drive test. Students may choose to pay an extra fee to use our vehicle for this test. If a student wants to use our vehicle for the test, they schedule through our website, and we will schedule the DMV test time for them.  The following options are available for using our vehicle for the test.  If you are under 18, these options are only available to those who have already completed the required 6 hours of behind the wheel training.  For those 18 or older, these option are only available to those who have already completed at least one 2 hour lesson with us.  The use of our vehicle for a drive test is at our discretion. If we feel a student is not at an ability level that we determine to be sufficient, then they will not be allowed to use our car for the test.
