TIRE RACK® STREET SURVIVAL® teen driver safety comes to Miami to stop the #1 teen killer!
With car crashes being the leading killer of American teens from ages 15 – 21 a unique, intensive training will take place in Miami on June 1st, 2019 only to teach about physics and limits of what a car can do.
Car crashes are the leading killer of American teens from ages 15 – 21, with more than 5,000 teens involved in a fatal crash each year and an additional 196,000 injured.
Tire Rack Street Survival® is a 501c3 organization and is the largest active non-profit national driver education program that teaches teens the skills they need to stay alive behind the wheel. Unlike traditional driver’s education programs based on classroom theory and simple maneuvers, the Tire Rack Street Survival® program improves driver competence through hands-on experiences in real-world driving situations.
The Tire Rack Street Survival® class covers:
· A valuable classroom session.
· Hands-on, how to manage everyday driving hazards, obstacles and challenges in a controlled environment on an advanced driving course to ultimately “arrive alive.”
· Emergency braking and skid control, how to control proper braking, and how to avoid accidents entirely.
· In select schools, in addition to spending time in the driver’s seat of parked 18-wheeler to fully comprehend its massive blind spots, teenagers witness the violent detonation of an air bag, which reinforces proper hand placement on the steering wheel.
· Students are taught in their own cars, not specially prepared program vehicles, so the skills they learn can be directly translated to their daily driving experiences. Tire Rack Street Survival® challenges teenagers to understand how to control a vehicle, rather than just operate one.
