About American Driving School
The name American Driving School dates back to 1949 where it was
originally started by an automobile manufacturer who believed that
by offering driver’s training to customers and helping them
get their driver’s license would promote car sales. The name
American has been around for a long, long time. There is probably
a driving school called American in almost every state in the union,
all operated by different owners or corporations.
This website is being brought to you by Milford Enterprises, Inc.
who operates American Driving School; which is a division of and
licensed by El Cajon Driving School, DMV License No. 3348, and has
been serving the Southern California area since 1982.
We are a full service driving school. While most driving schools
emphasize the teaching of teenagers, we train drivers in EIGHT DIFFERENT
DIVISIONS.
Course 1
Course 1 offers teenage training (under 18). American Driving School
offers both classroom/internet and behind the wheel training American
Driving School offers free home pick up and provides PRIVATE lessons.
PRIVATE lessons cost more, but we feel it is the only way to properly
teach behind the wheel training. You may find that some driving
schools teach two or three students at the same time, charging each
of them the full amount of time even though they only drove 45 minutes
out of the two hour session. In some cases they take students to
their classroom and show them films or have them participate in
some kind of a computerized simulator. This prevents them from having
to put too many miles on their car, use more gasoline, and they
can handle more students in a shorter period of time. PROFITABLE,
oh yes! In our opinion, driver’s training is one of the most
important courses anyone will ever take. It needs to be done one
on one with a great deal of instruction.
American Driving School offers both classroom and internet driver’s
education programs. However, we encourage our students to take the
classroom program rather than the internet course simply because
we feel the student will receive a better and more complete education.
We do have an internet program and there are a few people who cannot
come to a classroom on a regular basis for a variety of different
reasons and have no choice but to use the internet program.
American Driving School also offers as part of the driving course
a free 60 minute CD. This CD explains what the student was taught
by their instructor and gives ideas and tips to the supervising
party on what to look for during driving practice along with some
do’s and don’ts. This is a useful tool for parents and
guardians and helps to prevent parents from undoing what the instructor
is trying to accomplish.
Course 2
Course 2 offers a specialized program for adults who have never
had a driver’s license or have moved from another state or
country and need a brush-up course. American Driving School helps
them with both the written and driving test. These courses include
freeway, mountain driving, parking maneuvers, and all of the driving
techniques necessary to pass the driving test.
Course 3
Course 3 offers works with senior/mature drivers who have had difficulty
passing their written test at the DMV and/or have been required
because of vision problems or medical problems to retake their driving
test. American Driving School has instructors who specialize in
training them to pass both the written and driving test.
Course 4
American Driving School has both therapists and driving instructors
who work together to train disabled drivers. They may have suffered
from a stroke or heart attack. They may have had an amputation or
a serious accident that has affected their physical ability to drive
requiring them to use hand controls, special steering knobs, left-footed
gas pedals, etc.
Course 5
American Driving School trains commercial drivers, limo companies,
delivery drivers, public utility companies, just to name a few.
This course satisfies insurance company requirements for both large
and small companies and corporations to have a driver’s education
and training program in place in order to help prevent collisions
or property loss. This course also can aid in reducing vehicle down
time, workman’s compensation claims, and unhappy customers.

DRIVING INSTRUCTORS. This 60-hour course includes 40 hours of theory
training and 20 hours of in-car teaching techniques. This course
