No you do not need drivers ed to take your permit , the permit is questions based off of rules of the road, drivers ed is to teach you how to drive. You have to study the book take test, get your permitthen take drivers ed to get your license.

New Texas Law

SB 1317 creates a six-hour driver education course required for driver license applicants 18 years of age or older. It also mandates that applicants 25 or under must submit to an approved driver education course. (Goes into effect March 1, 2010.)

In effect, anyone 18 to 24 in Texas , to get a new Texas drivers license must take a 6 hour drivers education course that has been state approved.

This all depends what state or country you live you in. Some countries require a driver's education class to get a driver's license.

In the US, each state determines their own laws regarding driver education. However, you usually have to have the Learner's Permit before you can take the class.

Yes, It actually depends from state to state. In some states, it's just highly recommended that you take Driver's Education while some states offer incentives (i.e. instead of needing 100 hours of driving experience, you only need 50 with a Driver's Education course). "Driving School" can lower your insurance cost though.

No, you can get your permit at 16 without any education. Or you can get it at 15 with drivers ed.

Yes.

You wouldn't want someone to be driving without education.

It's the same with being a surgeon.

You wouldn't want someone to cut you open if he didn't have education.

Much of drivers education is about learning rules, methods, and etiquette and does not require a permit. The learners permit allows you to get in the drivers seat and to practice driving.

Yes, driving school is not only a requirement but it is also a very good idea. Students who attend driving school tend to benefit from whatever they learn.
