Q. Can you guarantee that I will get a driver's license?
A. No. We promise to do all we can to a) teach you to become a safe and responsible driver, b) prepare you for the written exam at your local driver's license division, and c) prepare you for the practical road test. Beyond that it is impossible to predict or guarantee how you will perform when being tested.
Q. What do I need to do to get my learner permit?
A. You must pass the written test at the driver license division with a score of 80% or better. You must also pass an eye exam wherein you must have at least 20/40 vision in one eye. The learner permit is valid for up to one year and allows the student to operate a class D motor vehicle when the person's parent, legal guardian, or adult spouse, who must be a licensed driver, is occupying the seat next to the person.
Q. How many attempts do I get to pass my written and driving tests?
A. You have 3 attempts at the written test at the Driver License Division. In the event that you do not pass your written test on your first attempt, you may attempt it again immediately. It is a 50-question, closed book, multiple choice and true/false test that you must pass with a score of 80%. If you take the driving test with the Driver License Division you typically get to make three attempts, after which you would be required to get more driving instruction from a professional, licensed driving instructor. If you take the driving test with a 3rd party tester (SUDS or Roadrunner Testing Services) you can make unlimited attempts at the driving test.
Q. How many hours do I need to drive with my parents?
A. All individuals under 18 years of age must complete 40 hours of driving, six of which will occur during driver education. The remaining 34 hours (ten hours must be done after dark) must be certified by a parent or guardian when they sign the minor's application.
Q. When do I drive with an instructor?
A. .You may begin your driving immediately upon getting your learner permit and your tuition must be paid in full.. You may schedule your drives anytime Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. by calling 229-8037, and you will choose your own drive times. Drives are typically two hours in length.
Q. How fast can I finish driver's education?
A. This mostly depends on your attendance, motivation, and the type of course you choose. The home study course can be the fastest and students have been known to complete both classroom/workbook and driving requirements in 4 days.
Q. What kind of cars do you use?
A. We drive late model automatic vehicles. We currently do not have any manual transmission cars in our fleet.
Q. What kind of ID will I have to show at the driver license division?
A. Every person must provide two forms of identification and two forms of proof of residency for living in Utah. The best two forms of identification are a certified birth certificate and a social security card (both originals, no photo copies). Your residency may be proved with such documents as utility bills in your name, Utah vehicle registration, bank statement, mortgage papers, major credit card bill, and property tax notices.
Q. Does the Driver License Division provide a car for the road test ?
A. No, the DLD does not provide a car for you. A 3rd party tester ( SUDS or Roadrunner Testing Services) usually provides the car for you to test in, but you may drive your own if you prefer and it meets the qualifications.
Q. Has anyone ever "failed" driver's education?
A. No. The only way for you to not complete driver's education is if you fail to attend your classes or drives, or if you don't complete your workbook assignments. In that case, you don't "fail" the course, you merely have not completed it. You have one year to complete the course.
Q. When I'm done with driver's education, can I take the road test with you?
A.No. SUDS cannot test their own students. We refer our own students to either the Driver License Division or to our sister company, Roadrunner Testing Services.
