What teens are saying...
 |
“It was really fun; it wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be. Some of the courses were really exciting and I think they gave me more confidence in my driving.”
“I know how to react to stuff better now, instead of just being panicked.”
“In driver’s ed they teach the basics of how to drive a car, but here you learn what to do in certain situations.”
What parents are saying...
“I thought this program was great, it was great to watch my daughter gain confidence in herself and her abilities and understand what to do. Now when she’s out on the road, it’s not the fist time she’s encountered a skid or the first time she’s had to maneuver quickly. She’s got something positive to pull from so instead of panicking she knows what to do."
“If I were talking to another parent I would definitely suggest this program, to take the time, do it with your teenager, experience it together and have that learning process together in terms of driving."

“Driving is experiential and teens only get a certain amount of time behind-the-wheel in their school driver’s ed class. You can talk to people all you want about what to do; you don’t know what to do until you’ve done it, until you’ve experienced it. The more you can experience real world driving in a safe setting, the better off you’re going to be on the road."
What others are saying…

“I applaud this program because it teaches teenagers how to be safer on our roads and teen safety is something we can all get behind. Nothing is better than hands-on and that’s what this program is all about.”
- Karen Ray, Former NC Representative
“We lose far too many teenagers on our highways each year, not just in North Carolina but nationwide. Anytime that you can put a teenager behind the wheel and give them hands-on experience of corrective driving and defensive driving it will help them in their everyday driving.”
- Darrell Jernigan, North Carolina Governor's Highway Safety Program

“Any and all ‘controlled environment’ practice time that we can provide a teenage driver will be most beneficial to them in their public street and highway driving. Education and experience translates into better driving decisions.”
- Connie Sessoms, Jr., Driver Education Specialist (Mecklenburg County Schools)
