Do these places require on-the-road training in order to get a license? Va does. In fact, a student under 18 must complete 45 hours behind the wheel with a parent/adult before they can start the class. 15 hours of which need to be night driving. In my city, any student in the school system or citizen of the city can take the course offered by the school system. If the student only has to do Internet classroom to get a license, it should not be allowed, but if the student must complete behind the wheel on the road training with a live instructor, I see no issue with the virtual classroom.
