B.R.A.K.E.S. Driving School

NHRA to host driving schools in California.  Click Here for more information.

The B.R.A.K.E.S Teen Pro-Active Driving school is designed to give young drivers the dynamic experience of handling a vehicle in adverse driving conditions and a controlled environment.  Our course will educate the students on the proper way to handle skids, panic stops, accident avoidance and driving with distractions.  Our professional driving instructors will encourage students to push the car and themselves to gain a better understanding of what a car can do, and in the process will improve their skills and confidence behind the wheel.

Students will train in vehicles provided by the B.R.A.K.E.S foundation.  All training will be conducted by professional driving instructors with years of experience.  The student to instructor ratio is kept at 3 to 1 to maintain the highest learning experience.

Students of the Driving School need to be atleast 15 years old with a valid Learner's Permit; the teens are required to have their driver’s license or learner’s permit with them at registration to participate.  Also, all participants should dress comfortably and wear tennis shoes.  Our driving school is rain or shine so please plan accordingly.

B.R.A.K.E.S. is a 501(c)(3) organization that operates solely on donations.  This allows the foundation to host its Driving School at no cost to attending teens and parents.

“Today’s vehicles have limitations greater then the average driver’s skill level- we want to even that out.”
