    Teen Street Survival Course - TireRack

    If you have a teen driver, please consider having them attend a Teen Street Survival course: http://streetsurvival.org/
    Street Survival is a national system of teaching young drivers how to handle their own cars in a controlled environment. My 16 yo was in a course last month and my 15 yo is signed up for the spring. As a helper or instructor the past few years, I can't tell you how much this helps teens with understanding vehicle control.

    For you "adult teens", you might want to consider a DE (high performance driving event.) At the Audi & BMW DE's I've attended, you get the same education and experience as the teen event. Plus a little more with the on-track portion. It's ALL very controlled and safe.

    My track career stated when I attended an Audi sponsored Adult event in Texas 10 yrs ago at age 41. I was blown away at how much safer I felt in my own car knowing it's capabilities.

    Be safe, Jim

    Couldn't agree more Jim. Adults and kids alike need to have a good understanding about the dynamics of vehicle control. When my kids are old enough to drive, they will be going to an event like these for sure.

    As you did, I learned a lot about car control at my first DE event. Good reminder Jim.
