| In
2006, 7,463 people aged 15 - 20 years old were involved in fatal car
crashes. This group of drivers injured another 272,000 people. Motor
vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for people 15 - 20
years old but we can do something about it! |
Sport Vehicle Specialties, Inc.
has developed this program in an effort to help educate young drivers
and better prepare them for their responsibilities behind the wheel.
| Students
will learn: |
- Threshold Braking
- Accident Avoidance
|
- Eyesight/Distance Exercise
- Distracted Driving Exercise

We Teach Emergency
Driving Skills BEFORE
There Is An Emergency! |
|
 |
Our focus is the act of driving, 75% of the
student’s time is spent at driving activities taught by professional
racing drivers and law enforcement personnel.
Students are taught how and why a car works the way it does and given
the opportunity to practice in a controlled environment.
We believe the first place to try an emergency maneuver should never
be in an actual emergency. This program instills the most basic survival
skills behind the wheel taught by the most qualified instructors in
an exciting and fun environment! |
Spokane Country Sheriff
Ozzie Knezovich has gave the green light for his office to participate
in the Teen Extreme Driving Seminars in 2008. And area car dealers
provided a variety of vehicles for teens to train in. Joining them
was a new sponsor - the Spokane 911 Driving School.
Our emergency driver skill training builds on the fundamentals learned
in Drivers Ed. 911 Driving Schools are a fine choice for any novice
driver, and their Spokane office is helping us produce this event.

The need for this program is self-evident. According
to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association:
- Last year in the United States 43,443 people
were killed in automobile crashes
- Speeding was a factor in over 30% of these crashes
- Total damages were over 230 BILLION DOLLARS
- Automobile crashes are the leading cause of death
for people between the ages of 4 – 34
- 58% of these crashes involved cars leaving the
roadway
- 55% of victims were unrestrained
- 15-20 year old drivers make up 6.5% of our licensed
drivers but are involved in 12.6% of fatal crashes
- In 2005 3,467 drivers 15-20 years old were killed
in automobile crashes. Drivers in the same age group injured another
281,000 people.
Driving is the most dangerous activity in your
daily life. Sport Vehicle Specialties has developed this program to
help you make sure you and everyone around you is safer for the rest
of your lives. |
