Tire Rack Street Survival Driving Program

Drivers:
At the one-day Tire Rack Street Survival school, you will gain valuable skills to improve your driving techniques. You won’t just sit in a classroom listening to a boring lecture; you will be behind the wheel, driving through real-world exercises.

Check with the local registrar ahead of time to find out about the facilities. The classroom may be outdoors; be prepared for whatever the weather may be. Bring:
- sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses for sunny days
- an umbrella and warm clothing if the forecast calls for rain or cooler temperatures

The Tire Rack Street Survival schools occur rain or shine. In fact, rain helps some of the exercises.

Parents may want to bring a comfortable chair to sit outside to watch the activities, or a book in case they tire of watching. Some schools may need extra help; if interested in volunteering, contact the school registrar.

Parents:
The Tire Rack Street Survival school is designed to equip your child with valuable driving skills that will help keep them safe on the road. You are encouraged to spend the day with your student. You will be able to attend the classroom portion while instructors are teaching the students. The instructors will be available throughout the day to answer questions about the course events your son or daughter are going through.

If you decide to spend the day with us, please dress accordingly and come prepared for a day outside. There may or may not be an indoor classroom depending on the venue—check with the local registrar so you both know what to expect. Consider bringing a chair or a book.

Many schools need extra volunteers. If you want to be more involved in your child’s Street Survival experience, let the local school registrar know when registering.

Do parents have to attend?
We cannot require that you come to the class, but we strongly suggest that you do. Join the classroom sessions to familiarize yourself with the material your child is learning. And who knows, even though you’ve been driving for many years, there just may be a few things that are new to you as well.

We also feel that the importance of driving education and seriousness of this issue is reinforced when your new driver sees you taking an active interest in what they are doing.
