What will I learn?

Did you know the steering wheel of a car is more of a suggestion box? Your feet actually control whether or not the car will respond to a turn.

At this class, teens and their parents will spend time in the classroom learning:

• The physics and geometry of driving
• How to eliminate distractions
• How what you learn during the class relates to the real world
• How to avoid a crash before it ever happens

After the classroom portion, teens will drive their car on a specially designed road course while a trained professional rides with them and coaches them from the passenger seat. Teens will experience and feel the response of their car when driving during the following situations:

• Emergency and wet braking
• Bringing a car out of skid
• Recovering when a tire goes off the road
• Shifting lanes — accident avoidance — emergency lane changes 
• Side-to-side weight transfer
