Announcing the seventh year of the nationally acclaimed New Driver Car Control Clinics®. Over 10,000 parents and young drivers have been trained right here in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky in these life-saving crash avoidance techniques.

Each Clinic consists of a classroom session from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. on the first night, followed by one 4-hour behind the wheel session on one of the following two days. A parent is required for both sessions. Students must have at least a Learner's Permit. A full license is okay, too.

Regarding Joshua’s Law: Please be advised that the New Driver Car Control Clinic is a valuable, effective, hands-on, behind-the-wheel program that puts teens into emergency situations (in a safe environment) to program their brain how to properly respond in an emergency, and according to a government study, it has been proven to save lives. It is not part of the Joshua’s Law curriculum requirements. However, 4 hours spent behind-the-wheel in the Clinic may be applied toward the 40 hours of “supervised driving with parent/guardian” portion of Joshua’s Law.

Remember, one in four teens will crash in their first year of driving.  New Driver Car Control Clinic graduates have a proven record of 77% fewer crashes than their untrained peers.  Now, there is something parents can do to make their new drivers safer.

The New Driver Car Control Clinic is all about changing the anatomy of an accident by pre-programming the sub-conscious to break the chain of panic -- to prepare the driver mentally and physically to react to surprises with skill and precision. And more importantly, to recognize impending danger earlier so that they never enter the emergency zone where accidents lurk. This popular behind-the-wheel Clinic focuses on teaching parents and teens critical accident-avoidance maneuvers and defensive-driving skills such as

• Eye Management - judging spatial relationships
• Steering Management - making the car go precisely where you want it to, even in an emergency and
• Brake Management - the so-called panic stop without the panic.
• The exercises are performed in a series of cone patterns in the family's own car on both Wet And Dry Pavement.

"Driving is a psychomotor skill," says Clinic founder David Thompson. "Just like learning to play the piano requires an actual keyboard, so does learning to control an automobile in an emergency demand that you actually drive a car."

Who We Are -- The New Driver Car Control Clinic is a seven-year-old program available in Florida, Tennessee, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Ohio and Georgia. Developed by automotive journalist and racecar driver David Thompson, the curriculum is an adaptation of the skills taught to fire, police and other emergency vehicle drivers. Terri Ranson, driver's education teacher in North Carolina says, "Thirty hours of classroom and six hours behind the wheel [in traditional driver's ed] cannot truly make a safe driver. This program is a wonderful grand finale to what we start in driver's ed. I highly recommend it." Florida parents and teens agree. "This course saved my child's life," Debbie Still of Palm Beach says. "If I had a million dollars I would take every one of my son's friends to this clinic in case he is ever riding with them in an emergency situation. I have my son today, thanks to [this clinic]," she exclaims.
