Now through the end of September, Scion is offering a Defensive Driving Academy at the Autobahn Country Club of Joliet. The robust, one-day program teaches teenagers, fleet drivers and law enforcement officials how to avoid accidents, maneuver skid situations and understand vehicle dynamics and control.
Scion will provide a fleet of compact, sporty vehicles for the Defensive Driving Academy's safety drills - upping the "cool factor" of the program. Scion's fleet model lineup includes the:
-
xD urban subcompact five-door;
-
xB urban utility vehicle;
-
tC sports coupe; and
-
micro-subcompact iQ.
No simulators here. Each course, taught by professional racing instructors, is a combination of classroom teaching and actual behind-the-wheel drills. The curriculum really applies to everyone, but programs are targeted to teenagers, fleet and law enforcement - the three categories of what are considered the highest risk drivers. In fact, drivers under 21 years of age are three times as likely to be involved in a crash as drivers age 21 and older.
Upon completion of the Defensive Driving Academy, participants receive a certificate, which many insurance companies recognize with a policy discount.
Spots are still available for upcoming sessions on Sunday, Aug. 24 and Sunday, Sept. 28. Additional program details along with cost and scheduling can be found at www.autobahndefensivedriving.com.
