Teen Driving Clinic - Sunday, August 14, 2016

Dakota County Technical College

About this event

 

Do you wonder if regular driver’s education courses are enough to keep your teenager safe on the roads? Do they know how quickly they can stop safely? Or how wet roads or going off-road affect driving dynamics? Do you wish your teen had a ‘hands-on’ opportunity to recognize and handle unsafe situations? Here’s your chance to give them that experience in a safe and structured environment!

For over a decade, the Glacier Lakes Chapter of the Audi Club of North American (ACNA) has taught hundreds of teens to become better, safer drivers. Our one day program consists of three classroom sessions and nine behind the wheel driving exercises with a personal, dedicated instructor. Our volunteers are highly trained driving instructors who teach teen drivers how to handle a car in various driving conditions and situations, and will provide encouragement and praise along the way. From slalom and skid pad exercises to braking and accident avoidance, we will teach your teen in one day what they were not able to learn in all of their Driver’s Education classes.

The cost is $149 per student for this one day course. Clinics begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. and conclude by 4:30 p.m. Breakfast, lunch and beverages are provided for all attendees including parents of students. Clinics are held at Dakota County Technical College (DCTC) in Rosemount, MN.

Class size is limited and spots fill quickly.  Early registration is recommended.
