The Davis Academy Driving School, while serving seemingly everywhere in California, is a notoriously hard place to locate if you are trying to find the actual physical location. Tucked into a little niche behind the Secretariat on the corner of G Street and 4th, it is a very easy office to miss, so make sure to look hard! The office and business has been family owned and operated by Leticia Saez for almost 20 years and caters to not only Davis residents, but the surrounding areas all the way down to Stockton. It offers behind the wheel training and driver's education and is DMV-certified to do so; they are a popular pick with the younger crowd as it uses convertible Mustangs for the behind the wheel training.
Learn to Drive is a driving school created by former police Sgt. Joe Campbell. His goal was to use his experience in the police force to make a program that would be relatable to his generally young students. The classes consist of educational videos, tests and driving time. Campbell wanted to be sure his students were as comfortable as possible, so he chose vehicles that they wouldn't mind being seen in or vehicles that are familiar to them.
The course requires 30 hours of class time, 6 hours behind the wheel and then, once class has ended, 60 logged hours behind the wheel with a licensed driver in the car.
Learn to Drive is located in the Benfield Village Shopping Center, tucked away in a pass-through. Just look for the Szechuan Inn restaurant.
