About

Report

The name "American Driving School" actually dates all the way back to 1949! Originally started by an automobile manufacturer, they believed that offering driver's training to customers and helping them to get their driver's license would promote new car sales. The modern American Driving School was established in 1982 and graduates over 1,000 new drivers per year from many parts of the San Diego area. This school and the El Cajon Driving School are both owned and operated by DIJIT Enterprises, Inc.

Driver Tips

Report

Weather forecasters are predicting a very wet Winter this year, maybe continuing into the Spring. We're not used to a lot of rain in San Diego, judging by the driving behavior we see all around us. The Basic Speed Law says you can't drive faster than "it is safe" for the current conditions. You can't see as far ahead in the spray; reduce your speed about 20% (5-10 mph on city streets; 10-15 mph on the freeway).
