Disabled Drivers Training & Driver Rehabilitation
in San Diego County
 Whether
you are young or old and regardless what type of life style you
have, one thing that most people agree upon is the importance of
being mobile. For most of us that means having some form or means
of transportation.
That’s why it is so important to maintain our ability to
drive. Driving affords us the availability and freedom to jump in
and out of our car at a moment’s notice and go where we please.
That’s why for most of us protecting our privilege to drive
is of monumental importance.
For 30 years American Driving School has been working side by side
with men and women who have had their driving privilege challenged
because of various types of vision or health problems. Some have
had a stroke or heart attack, while others have been involved in
industrial or auto accidents that have affected their ability to
drive safely.
Fortunately, a large portion of these drivers still have a chance
to regain their privilege to drive by proving that they have learned
to compensate for their disability. In some cases this means learning
to use hand controls, while others need to learn how to use their
vision more effectively. In many situations special equipment like
left-footed gas pedals or steering knobs are necessary to help compensate
for their disability. The important thing to remember is that there
is always hope with the proper training and modern equipment. You
would be amazed at the number of drivers who have overcome their
disability and successfully passed their driving retest.
The Rehabilitation Division of our driving school is operated by
Senior Instructor, Richard Milford who
in the past 30 years has helped thousands of drivers who have had
every conceivable type of disability to regain their driver’s
license. To date he has a 95% pass rate. Through his years of experience,
Mr. Milford has developed teaching techniques that make learning
new driving habits easier. He teaches drivers in their own vehicle,
and at times that are convenient for them. Lessons are one and a
half hours in duration. He instructs students in the proper way
to drive, and helps them get rid of their bad driving habits, while
explaining what they will have to do or be asked to do in order
to successfully pass their retest.
If the DMV requires a written test to be taken, Mr. Milford or
his staff personally coaches each student and provides practice
material, making it possible to study at home at their convenience.
He explains how to read and understand the questions that will be
asked.
It would appear that trying to find the right person for the job
when you really need someone seems almost impossible. Looking in
the yellow pages under driving schools, for example, will most likely
lead you to a driving school that trains teenagers. But, what you
really need is a SPECIALIST trained to work with drivers who have
special needs, an instructor who understands the retesting system
and how to work with DMV successfully.
We hope that if you have special needs that you will consider
American Driving School. We have been helping people like you
for 30 years. We invite your inquiries about our disabled driver
training program, and we are more than happy to answer any questions
you may have.
