This is an intense one day program that teaches safe driving attitudes and advanced defensive driving skills, taught by professional racers and driving instructors. Your teen gets behind the wheel and is taught techniques including emergency braking, skid control, crash avoidance and vehicle familiarity and maintenance.

Your teen will learn the importance of having a safe driving attitude, the skills of how to handle a car, the importance of awareness and the potential results of distracted driving. Parents are invited to meet the instructor team and get behind the wheel of the Mazda fleet to execute several key drills while the teens are in their morning classroom session.
 

Participants rotate through four drills in succession. In the first of two entertaining and informative classroom sessions our driving professionals explain the physics of why cars behave the way they do (Vehicle Dynamics) and how to properly control them. After lunch, the second classroom discussion covers the problems caused by other drivers and how to deal with them.

Throughout the rest of the day participants practice accident avoidance and emergency lane change techniques, threshold braking under low traction conditions, and skid control and recovery utilizing our state of the art dynamic skid training vehicle, all on our Vehicle Dynamics Skid Pad. Additionally, participants learn about the basics of caring for their vehicle during our vehicle maintenance segment.
