About the North Bay Teen Driving Clinic

The clinic is designed go far beyond what is typically taught in Drivers Ed or a driving school, with an emphasis in keeping the students in their cars and only a little time in the classroom.   This is best described as a classroom within the car.

The event is open to all teen drivers between the age of 16-19 (consideration can be made for drivers up to the age of 21)  that have either a valid Drivers License or Provisional Driving Permit.  All makes and models of cars are welcome.

The cost of the Teen Drivers Clinic is $99 for each student which will include breakfast snacks, water and lunch with beverages.  It is an additional $15 for any parent or other person who wants to attend along with the student and they will receive the same breakfast, water and lunch.

The event will teach teen drivers to control a car in a variety of real world situations. We teach accident avoidance, ABS and panic braking, slalom driving in both wet and dry conditions, all of which are designed to improve awareness of your car. Additionally there is an exercise called 'driving the dots' that is designed to make the teens more aware of where the edge of the lane (or curb) is located.  Classroom sessions will focus on "real world" situations that teens face every day on the road, such as texting while driving and other distractions as well as proper lane changing, merging and passing techniques.

At the end of the day every teen should leave with much improved driving skills and a big smile on their faces.  If you have any questions, please send email to joe@audiclubgoldengate.org.

Event requirements

The event is open to all teen drivers between the ages of 16-19 with a valid driver license or provisional driving permit (consideration can be made for persons up to 21 years old).  You do not need to be a member of the Audi Club to attend and all makes and models of cars are welcome.  All teen students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and they must be driving a fully registered vehicle.  Vehicles can be shared but it is not recommended. If two teens will be sharing a car, a seperate registration for each teen is necessary.  The teen will gain more from the clinic if they spend the whole day with their own car.  Please make sure that the year, make, model and color of the car you are bringing is accurately recorded during registration.

It is recommended that the teens bring the car they are most likely to drive on a daily basis and you should do a basic safety check prior to attending the clinic. (Do the brakes work? Is there tread on the tires and are they inflated properly? Are the brake lights functional? etc.)  While there will be a tech check at the event, it is important that the vehicle be in a safe and roadworthy condition for the event.
