We have renamed our Enhanced Driving School as "Enhanced Driving Synergy." It's still the same school, operated by our club and it's team of dedicated volunteers. The re-branding was done to make it clear to everyone that the EDS is for drivers of all makes of cars, not just Saab owners. Our research showed that many prospective students did not sign up because they thought it was for Saabs only.

The EDS also has a new website at drivingsynergy.com:

You can still access the old EDS website here (we are maintaining it for archival purposes).

Are you scheduled to instruct at an upcoming school?

Firstly, thank you! We appreciate your commitment to help us.

We have a school "preparation" page with general notes. Review this before a school. It includes details like the start time of the school, rules for cars passing, signals for passing, rules for driver and passenger windows, etc.

Included in the "prep" page is a link to the downloadable instructor waiver. You'll be happy to know that we require you to fill out a waiver only once for the entire year.

We also encourage you to read "the rules" page. It is written mainly with the driver or student in mind. But it sheds light on how we do things.

If your contact information changes at any point in the year, we request you fill out our "info change" form. It is important that we always be able to keep in touch.

The SOCCI schools have a reputation as being very good, very high quality. But at the same time, they are... casual, more relaxed. That you have been asked to work with the club means that we consider you one of the best and that you have an excellent attitude and perspective. We're pleased to have you on board.

How We're Evolving

We're always looking for ways to improve our schools and our driving school program.

In 2005, we've changed a number of things which we are excited about:
