Street Survival School for the young drivers

[jpkirk]

My son and I just spent all day Saturday with the Street Survival School. He to learn, me to observe... and learn. It is designed to teach newer drivers (15 to 22 I believe) about the limitations of their car and accident avoidance techniques. They also spend time in the classroom going over basic vehicle dynamics and how to best avoid emergency situations in the first place. The kids all loved it, they had a great time. They got to do something in their cars that parents would usually be horrified with, but in controlled situations.

And it just might save their lives.

It was well worth the 75 dollars. If you can afford it and have a car that can pass tech for your kid to drive. Invest the 75 dollars.

I was fortunate enough to be able to attend some company-sponsored defensive driving courses back when I was in my early-20s.

If someone has never taken a course, I highly recommend that you enroll ASAP. It can save your car and your life.

Edit: Kudos for giving your child the skills to keep from hitting me. I appreciate it. Let's just hope that he makes good use of his new skills. You have encouraged him to be safe so I am optimistic.
