How many hours do I have to drive?
All teen driver courses are designed to meet North Carolina’s minimum requirements for driver education. The minimum required behind-the-wheel time is 6 hours.
When does the driving portion start?
It’s important to know the rules of the road before getting behind the wheel. All behind-the-wheel training is conducted shortly after finishing classroom training.
How long is each driving session?
The state of North Carolina requires all behind-the-wheel training to be limited to 2 hours or less. Shorter drive times are available and can be scheduled online.
Do you offer home pick-ups?
For the safety of our instructors and our students, all lessons will begin and end at Charlotte Driving Academy.
