Habersham County, ga The nationally acclaimed New Driver Car Control Clinic®, a hands-on, in-car accident avoidance and defensive driving skills clinic for teens and their parents is coming to the Habersham County Board of Education facility May 14--16.. The New Driver Car Control Clinic is all about changing
the anatomy of an accident
"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."
How it Works & What's Required -- Hands-on Clinic sessions are limited to ten parent-student teams per session. Teens must have at least their Learner's Permit (Temps). The teen should have enough driving experience to be comfortable making the car go forwards, backwards, left and right. This usually requires from 4 to 8 hours behind the wheel. Families use their own car -- preferably the one the teen is most likely to end up driving. Each team receives a 90-minute classroom session on vehicle dynamics and human dynamics -- why the car, and the driver, behave the way they do in an emergency; -- 4 hours of in-car instruction; a 45-minute video and 56-page workbook with diagrams of ten exercises, a log and a Parent-Teen contract so that they can continue to practice these life-saving maneuvers. Who We Are -- The New Driver Car Control Clinic is an eight-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. Price & Cancellation Policy -- Tuition is $149 per parent-student team. The tuition is non-refundable, nor changeable to another clinic date. You may, however, give your space to another family with a new driver and work out the finances between you.

What Tri-State Parents are Saying:
“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)

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.
