Accident Avoidance Workshops
|
Take 60 Seconds and Learn about Accident Avoidance Workshops
Does your child drive a little too fast because they're too sure of themselves? Or even a little too slow because they're unsure of themselves? The Accident Avoidance Workshops has a remedy for both of those situations. Most kids realize how much control they don't have once they have driven the AAW obstacle course at 30mph. Taking out traffic cones at 30 mph has much more impact than a nagging parent, and mangled traffic cones are a great way to learn respect for speed and the limitations of both the car and the student.
Whether building confidence in new drivers, or knocking the hot-rods down a few pegs, the Accident Avoidance Workshops' goal is to save lives by positively impacting new drivers' development, in both their decision making abilities and the physical skills necessary to maximize on their own vehicle's capabilities without losing control of their vehicle, or themselves.
The Workshops are coming right to Walton High School this November. CLICK HERE for more information and for a complete schedule, or call 770-262-7009. If you are ready to register, you may CLICK HERE.
