Defensive Driving and Safety
Defensive Driving and Safety
Experience hands-on safe training techniques in defensive driving on a 2.8 mile course that features a “State of the Art” roadway.  This course is excellent for the seasoned driver as well as newly licensed drivers, safety-conscious parents, and drivers seeking to improve or enhance their skills in accident avoidance. Must have a valid DL in order to attend and you do need to drive your own vehicle on the course. 

This course will allow you to understand the engineering dynamics of your vehicle under controlled driving situations.  You will also experience your individual reaction time to programmed situations and learn why Performance, Attitude, and Ethics can prevent accidents.
