I've been told that either of my parents can monitor my driver training, so I don't have to attend a Chicago Illinois driving school like Ride-Chicago to fulfill my behind-the-wheel training requirement. Do you know if that's true or not?
You will need to contact the Illinois DMV or a state-approved driver training school like Ride-Chicago to find out. Some states do allow parent-taught driving, but many states do not.
