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.

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.
