About this event
This is a car control clinic for teenage drivers. The event is open to all teen drivers between the age of 16-19 that have either a valid Drivers License or Provisional Driving Permit. All makes and modesl 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. 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 or janine@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. 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 is not recommended. The teen will gain more from the clinic if they spend the whole day in a car. If two teens will be sharing a car a seperate registration is necessary. Please make sure that the year, make, model and color of the car you are bringing is accurately recorded on the order form.
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, 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.
