Driving Schools for Teens
These courses teach young drivers how to stay safe on the road.

A number of one-day driving schools combine classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction to teach teens the skills they need to deal with extreme conditions such as slippery roads, emergency braking and curves they approach too fast.
Supported by the BMW Car Club of America Foundation and Tire Rack, it will be offered in more than 40 locations in 2007.
