You need to circle May 1st, 2011 on your calendar as it is the date for the Audi Club Golden Gate Sacramento Area Teen Driving Clinic sponsored by 2Bennett Audimotive and Niello Audi. It will be held at Solano Community College Fairfield Campus and is open to all teen drivers ages 16 through 19. Participants must possess a valid driver's license to participate.

The clinic is designed go far beyond what is typically taught in Drivers Ed or a driving school, with an emphasis in keeping the students in their cars and only a little time in the classroom. It is a classroom within the car.

Some of the exercises they will participate in include: Accident avoidance, panic braking, and slalom driving, in both wet and dry conditions. They will also participate in an exercise that is designed to improve awareness of where your car is in relation to the edge of the road called "driving the dots". At the end of the day every teen should leave with much improved driving skills and a big smile on their faces.

Parents are encouraged to attend and will be provided lunch for a minimal fee. By having parents observe, and assist the instructors with the exercises, we hope to provide interesting dinner conversation that will keep what has been learned during the day as an ongoing discussion point within the family. Instructors will be provided to be in car with the students for most exercises giving them real time instruction and immediate feedback. The exercises are designed to be in a safe controlled environment, and students benefit the most by bringing the car they most frequently drive. It will be a full day with the registration starting around 8:00 am and finishing the day by 3:30 pm. Breakfast snacks and beverages will be provided all students and parents.

The fee for the event is $99.00 per student with a maximum of 20 students total for the clinic. Parents Lunch is $15 per parent. The instructor/student ratio will almost be 1 to 1. You can register online at Motorsportreg.org at the following link On-line Registration or by downloading the mail in registration form here Mail-in Registration Form

This clinic is a great way to get your teen ready for the post graduation summer driving. Make your reservations now. Since the event is open to non - Audi Club members please tell your friends and co-workers about this great event which is sure to sell out quickly.
