The Kansas Department of Transportation will co-host a teen proactive driving school in Kansas City on April 12th and 13th.
The driving school will include hands-on driving exercises such as Distracted Driving Awareness, Panic Braking, Crash Avoidance, Car Control/Skid Recovery, and Drop-wheel/Off-road Recovery. Other elements include proper seat and mirror placement, proper use of seatbelts, eye scanning, big rig Safety, what to do during a traffic stop, and more.
The course is open to those between the ages of 15 and 19 who have a valid learner’s permit or driver’s license and have at least 30 hours of driving experience. All students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The class is free but does require a $99 credit card deposit to reserve a space in the class. The course takes place at the Kansas Speedway.
