Welcome new Platinum Sponsor

 We are pleased to have a new sponsor, the Columbia 911 Driving School, located right down the street from IHS at 7467 St. Andrews Road.  Contact them at 732-8911 or click here to visit their web site.

Here is a brief overview of their business:

At 911 Driving School we hire only the finest police officers with knowledge and expertise to prepare you for the great responsibility that comes with obtaining your driver's license. The most important aspect of driver's education is SAFETY, and the best safety feature you can add to your car is a well trained driver. With police officers as instructors, our students get the most current real world driving instruction.

At 911 Driving School, instructors are highly trained in every aspect of controlling a vehicle and can teach the latest in defensive driving techniques and current traffic laws. Police officers see firsthand the devastation caused by poor driving. That's why we take an active role in bringing back greater credibility to driver's education. Our friendly team at the 911 Driving School is committed to excellence and know that you'll find our instruction to be fun, interactive, and comprehensive - the training cars are pretty cool too. We look forward to serving you.
