Teens ages 15½ to 17½ generally need to provide proof of completed or enrolled driver's education when applying for a learner's permit. Applicants over 17½ but under 18 may obtain a permit without driver-education or driver-training certificates, but they cannot take the DMV driving test until they turn 18.
No. The $49.95 price covers online driver's education only. Behind-the-wheel training is purchased separately after the student receives a learner's permit.
No. Six hours satisfy the professional driver-training requirement for minors. Teens must also complete at least 50 supervised practice hours, including 10 hours at night, hold their permit for the required period, meet the minimum age requirement, and pass the DMV driving test.
Schedule the first behind-the-wheel lesson with LLG Driving School. The instructor will begin professional training and validate the permit so the teen can begin supervised practice, subject to California DMV requirements.
After the permit, LLG provides the six hours of professional behind-the-wheel training California requires for drivers under 18, with pickup in San Francisco and San Mateo County.
