Frequently Asked Questions

Please text me at 205-613-6874 or email at svdrivered@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Yes, you do need a learner's permit before taking driving lessons. The permit test is only available through the DMV. Visit www.alea.gov for info on the learner's permit process.


Once you pay for driving hours, text a picture of the receipt to John Pledger at 205-613-6874. You will receive a reply with the link to signup genius to schedule your lessons.


No, unfortunately we do not offer pick-up and drop-off services for our driving lessons. Lessons begin and end at Mountain Brook High School. We use the school cars for lessons. Your instructor will contact you to confirm the exact location to meet.


Scroll all the way to the bottom and add the students name to the waitlist. When I add more slots, I email everyone on signup genius and you can reserve a driving slot. My schedule stays booked 3-4 months in advance but my other two instructors usually add slots weekly. We work hard to get everyone scheduled before their 16th birthday.
