Accident Avoidance Clinic for Teens and Parents

The clinics are scheduled for February 24 and 26th or 27th at John’s Creek High School.  The Clinic is a hands-on, behind-the-wheel program that teaches new drivers and their parents what to do when something goes terribly wrong in the traffic stream. For more information go to https://www.carcontrol.com  

According to the National Safety Council, one in four teens will be involved in a crash during their first year driving. And the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that 85% of crashes involving a 16-year-old are driver error. “We simply must do more to train our children how to handle emergency situations.” Each parent-student team (the Clinic does not accept a teen without a parent) attends a Thursday evening classroom session from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. and a four-hour behind-the-wheel session on either Saturday or Sunday using the family or teen’s own car. The cost is $179 per team and includes a 56-page workbook and 45-minute DVD, plus a certificate of completion for submission to an insurance company for a possible discount.
