(a) As used in this Code, "enhanced skills driving school" means a school for teaching advanced driving skills, such as emergency braking, crash avoidance, and defensive driving techniques to licensed drivers for a fee, and does not mean a school for preparing students for examinations given by the Secretary of State. (b) No person, firm, association, partnership, or corporation shall operate an enhanced skills driving school unless issued a license by the Secretary.
