American Defensive Driving School was founded by former Illinois state trooper Douglas Whitmore. His mission is to help teens and adults become the safest drivers possible. ADDS offers driving classes and behind-the-wheel hours that meet the requirements to obtain a driver's license. It offers full programs for teenagers, adults, senior citizens and adults from other countries who wish to obtain a valid Illinois license. Instructors go the extra mile for students to ensure they will become safe drivers.
