The Complete History of the Presidential State Car

Who Drives the State Car

The state car is only driven by the Secret Service. All drivers who get behind the wheel are highly trained and they need to be able to use the most adept police-style evasion techniques. That is challenging enough in an average-sized vehicle but remember that presidential cars easily weigh several times as much as the typical auto. All Secret Service drivers must pass extensive training on a secluded site that is likely a military base. During this training, they receive input from test drivers as well as GM engineers familiar with the auto’s inner workings.
