During 2007, 56 schools were held, training even more teenagers to become safe, responsible drivers--our goal for 2008 is 75 schools, from New Hampshire to California and Florida to Washington. For our latest additions, please visit our school schedule!

The primary emphasis of the Tire Rack Street Survival® is a "hands-on" driving experience in real-world situations! We use your own car to teach you about its handling limits and how you can control them.

For ParentsFor Parents

Your son or daughter will be gaining some valuable skills to better his or her driving techniques on the road at the Tire Rack Street Survival® School. You are also welcome to stay for the school all day if you wish. You will be able to listen to the instructors in the classroom while they are teaching the students. The instructors will be available throughout the day to answer questions you might have about the course events your son or daughter are going through.

Depending on the location of the event, there may or may not be an indoor classroom. You can check with the local registrar ahead of time to find out about the facilities. Be prepared for whatever the weather may be that day. Be sure to bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, etc as you feel necessary for the sunny days. If your local weather may have rain or cooler temperatures, be prepared with an umbrella and warm clothing. You may want to bring a comfortable chair to sit outside to watch the activities, or possibly even have a good book in case you are tired of watching the events.

Some of the schools may also need extra volunteers. You can contact the school registrar when your son/daughter registers and let them know you would be interested in helping with the school.

Last year, over 5,000 teenagers died in motor vehicle crashes, the leading killer of American youths aged 16 to 19, accounting for more than 40 percent of fatalities in that age bracket. To reduce this number, Tire Rack Street Survival® has developed a non-profit, national driver education program aimed at teaching teens the skills they need to stay alive behind the wheel.
