By: Teen Driving Solutions School The new scholarship is thanks to a $5,000 donation from a generous Triad family, which wishes to remain anonymous, and recognizes the potential to save teen lives and keep families safe through the avoidance and recovery training and techniques taught at the Safe Teen Driver Course. The class normally costs $595 to attend, including one teen and a guardian, and the scholarship will cover $495 of the class fees per selected family. Recipients will be asked to cover the remaining $100 to ensure dedication and personal accountability to the success of the course teachings. Those interested in applying for the scholarship can complete a short application online (http://www.teendrivingsolutions.org/ “Nearly 80 percent of all fatal teen crashes result from simple and preventable driver error,” said Dan Wagner, founder of Teen Driving Solutions School. “We’re so grateful for this generous donation that allows Triad families who may not have the financial means to attend one of our Safe Teen Driver Courses. We’re thrilled to be able to reach these families and help ensure their teens arrive alive every time they drive.” The Safe Teen Driver Course teaches students the perils of distracted driving, helps improve decision-making skills and includes various intensive behind-the-wheel training exercises to learn physical control of a car in potentially life-threatening situations. The course focuses on avoidance first and recovery if necessary and includes training to prevent over correcting after dropping a tire off the pavement, skid prevention, braking exercises and much more. Interested teens and guardians can apply online beginning June 17. For more information on the Safe Teen Driver course or to apply for the scholarship, visit http://www.teendrivingsolutions.org/ End
