Teen Driving School
MSR Houston's Teen Driving School is an experience beyond driver's education that gives novice drivers the opportunity to experience extreme situations in a controlled environment.
The primary emphasis of this school is a "hands-on" driving experience that can teach students many aspects of how to control a car safely in real-world situations. This is not a course to learn how to drive at high speeds. Car control, accident avoidance, and spatial awareness are the primary objectives.
MSR Houston teaches driving basics such as seating position, mirror placement, proper vision and awareness. Qualified, licensed instructors are monitoring and riding with the student throughout the entire day. The students are also taught the dynamics of the physical limitations of their vehicles, as well as their own personal limits.
After the classroom session, students are taken to the skid pad area to focus on recognizing skids, reacting properly to them, and vehicle control during a skid situation. Challenging courses are created on a closed course area to allow the student to experience a vehicle?s dynamics and to learn how to maintain better vehicular control, utilizing these dynamics in various controlled situations. The course is then wet down to allow the students to master car control in adverse conditions at slow speeds.
In this class, mistakes are learning experiences that are built on and corrected. In the threshold braking drill, teens learn to maximize their anti-lock brake system (ABS) or non-ABS system in order to stop their cars as quickly as possible in a controlled manner.
Participants learn accident avoidance by utilizing their maximum braking skills to slow the car and then partially releasing the brakes to drive around a stopped vehicle or object directly in their path while maintaining control of their vehicle.
The class sizes are small(6 to 12) and MSR Houston maintains at least a 1 to 4 instructor to student ratio to allow for an abundance of one-on-one training.
