    Great idea! They should have something like this everywhere.

    I have some clients that should take this course. I wouldn’t mind taking it myself.

    We have the same program in NJ. It’s called DriverSafe. They do the same type of driving exercises. There are slalom type courses, skid courses, etc. and they are taught by professional drivers as well-race car drivers/trainers, etc. It’s a 6 hour course-one hour is classroom. The students, whether a teen driver or and adult use their own car so they know how it will respond. They’re taught how to act in a deer situation, what the difference it is when over steering or not, sliding, etc. Any and all driving situations. I’m signing my 16 yr old up for it in the spring. It’s received high ratings.
