Street Survival
Teens have an 89.2% chance of being involved in a crash during the first three years of driving.
We are here to help. Tire Rack Street Survival schools are non-profit, volunteer run, one day driving clinics to help reduce the number of traffic incidents amongst new drivers. Each school is a combination of classroom learning and one-on-one coaching on a closed driving course.
What are some of the things we cover at these schools?
On the driving course, they work on skid control on a wet skid pad; lane change/accident avoidance maneuvers; threshold breaking/ABS exercises; and drive a slalom course to learn about weight transfer.
In the classroom, they learn about proper seating position and hand positions, mirror placement, the concept of the contact patch of their tires, theories of weight transfer, use of long distance vision, and situational awareness. We talk about the challenges of distractions to the driver.
