As a parent, the burden falls on you to teach your teen to drive safely and responsibly, but most of us have not been trained in how to best coach your teen driver. Well, that’s about to end. At the request of dozens of parents, we have put together a special PARENT DRIVING COURSE to help parents better understand some of the best ways to coach their teen drivers. The course happens at the same time the teens are going through their course, maximizing your time at the event, allowing you to learn some new language to use, some tips and tricks on how to be a more effective coach, give you the tools to help them learn the “right way” to stay in control of their car, and let you practice some of the skills yourself, in the Drive Safer SKIDCAR®.
The course begins with the Classroom from 9am – 10am. At 10am, you will head out to the Advanced Driving Course, to work with our Certified High Performance Driving Instructors to learn how to apply the concepts learned in the classroom. You will be driving in the Drive Safer SKIDCAR® and going through car control and defensive driving fundamentals including: Slalom, Hazard/Collision Avoidance, Threshold Braking, Trail Braking, ABS Intervention, Advanced Skid Control and Recovery and more! Then, once you have experienced the exercises and gained some further context, you go back to the classroom for a session on “Coaching from the Right Seat”. This presentation will provide you with some of the best practices on how to best help your teen learn to drive, while sitting in that “unfamiliar” right seat. We’ll provide you with instruction on what to use for reference points, how to maintain a safe atmosphere in the car, what, when, where, how and how long to practice! You will leave with a sense of accomplishment and confidence that you will be able to better prepare your child to be a safe, courteous and competent driver.
