A major, distinguishing difference is that we do not accept a young driver without a parent. Parents may not just ship us their kids and expect a finished product in return. We believe that to be successful, the driver must share information and experience with an adult guide to the future during and after the Clinic experience. We call them coaches.
We train parents and teens in the same process as followed for all psychomotor skill-- athletic skills --development. We begin with an understanding of the psychology and physics of crashes, vehicle dynamics, human responses and the likely outcomes of failure. Then, in the four hour in-car training session we develop the use of the eyes for early warning and for Our experience indicates that these four hours are the longest continuous driving session these drivers have ever experienced under any circumstances. It is a combination of tight space, slow speed, deep focus followed by higher speed, quick response exercises which stretch their awareness and understanding of the “real world” they face. What before may have been just “surviving” in the traffic stream, they now are managing themselves and their vehicle—expressing car control.

What Parents and Students Say:
“The best money I ever spent!” Herb R. “There are not enough words to express just how important this program is--believe me--had I not taken this clinic, I truly feel it would have resulted in an accident on Sunday.” Cynthia F.,
“This was definitely the best 6 hours of time spent with my daughter developing a skill that will be used daily for the rest of our lives. I recommend this class to everyone who drives a car, period. It could save your life.” Kurt W.,
“I felt [the clinic] was fabulous, as did my son. Thank you for this experience, it may just save our life."Jenny C.
"Our son’s initial reaction to taking this clinic was that it was punishment for his serious accident in April. Afterwards he thanked us, and said he wished he had taken the course earlier. We would recommend this clinic to all young drivers. It is certainly money well spent.” David. B.,
"The clinic was awesome! My daughter and I both learned so much and it was worth every penny." Karen B.,
"Our class went great. Some boys that were dragged there were having fun by the second exercise. Everyone found the day valuable." Marilyn H,
"My son did not want to be there. He's not a "new driver" he says. But after your class he was interested and I was hooked. He learned so much about his conventional brake system and that he needs to practice more. I thought the whole experience was well worth the time and money." Maggie T,
"Learning how to make a split second decision in life and death situations ...nothing could better prepare your teen for this than the Car Control Clinic." Karen B,
“The clinic has more than paid for itself.” Cynthia F,
“I definitely want my other children to do this clinic when it comes time."Amanda B.
"We loved the driving experience and practice, and appreciated all [the instructor’s] tips and comments to each of us. JackieP
"I just wanted you to know that I had a wonderful time at your Clinic. I was a little sketchy at first. The story you told about the boy that died, I knew him. So, it meant more to me after that story to understand how to control my car. I feel much more confident with my car now. I have yet to pass my drivers test, but after this I know I will [be able to.] Diana B. (student)

The New Driver Car Control Clinic is hands-on, in-car training that consists of a 120-minute discussion of vehicle dynamics and human dynamics followed by four hours of in-car instruction in accident avoidance and defensive driving maneuvers.
solution searches. We re-program the use of the steering wheel from its typically limited use in crash conditions to its full use. We move on to the early, powerful and effective use of the brake system on their car. All research on this issue concludes (and we see the concrete evidence in our Clinics) that young drivers are not taught and therefore cannot effectively use their brakes in their early crash experiences. The session ends with an accident avoidance maneuver test to see how well they have assimilated the system and techniques and can respond to the ultimate pressure, “Oh my God, I’m going to hit it!”
