Event Overview: The course begins with an opening session which both teens and parents attend together. Then the teens go out to a closed track where they will complete 3 driving courses focusing on defensive driving, accident avoidance, braking and the dangers of distracted driving. The parents will rotate between a coaching session and a distracted driving component where they will also get an idea of what their teens are learning on the closed course. Then teens and parents will reunite for the closing session.
