Teen Driving - Street Survival

[Cruiser_Nerd]

While the guys were at OEX last weekend, I was at the other end of town at the Consumer Report Test Track with my daughter. If you have a driver under 18 get them to this program: Street Survival - Teaching Your Teen Driver to Survive From Behind the Wheel - Program Guide There are some up in NH and VT this summer.

Puts the kids in their car and lets them experience it at the limit. This is the stuff I learned the old school way by "borrowing" my brother's Fiat 124 Sport Coupe when I was 15. All the kids had the same grin I used to have.........except it was safe.

Any training where the first thing they do is slap numbers on your grandmother's Camry is good.

All the money in the world couldn't get me to do Drivers Ed with someone else.

She did well, especially still being on a learners permit. I did prep her in the dirt with the Chevy though. By the end of the day she was wishing she had that V8 and posi rwd and not a 4 cyl fwd on the skidpad, the instructor was hitting the e-brake to liven things up.

I guess the kid that decided to try and pass the car in front of him up the street from my parents house going well over 100mph in a corolla, lost control, rolled several times, got ejected from the car should have taken that class, probably would be alive right now, looks like a great course.
