Parkway Driving School Policies & Procedures
It is important that all of our students and parents read our Policies & Procedures Document.
Our Road Testing Process
We submit applicants to the Registry of Motor Vehicles for approval two weeks prior to a road test. When a date and time is confirmed we will send you an email or text. The RMV does not allow cancellations for weekend road tests. Exact date and time will be confirmed by email or text one week before the test.
