Tire Rack Street Survival
Tire Rack Street Survival™ is a national driver education program aimed at teaching teens the skills they need to stay alive behind the wheel. The Tire Rack Street Survival™ program improves driver competence through hands-on experiences in real-world driving situations. Teenagers learn from professional driving instructors how their actions can control a car's responses, what the limits of their vehicles are, and how to avoid accidents entirely. Unlike other advanced driving schools, students use their own vehicles so that the skills they learn can be directly translated to their own daily driving experiences.
The class runs from 9am to 3pm, and is open to permitted and licensed drivers ages 16 - 21. Registration forms can be found online at http://www.streetsurvival.org. The cost is $60 per student and some insurance companies offer premium discounts to graduates.
