Teen Driver Safety Clinic Offered at Grand Prix New York

Want your teen to be a safer, more aware, driver?  This Spring the public is invited to attend Teen Driver Safety, Survive the Drive presentation hosted by Grand Prix New York. “Recreational karting facilities have a vested interested in promoting teen driver safety. Kart racing can be enjoyable, challenging and fun but driving on the public roads is serious business”. said Bob Green, driver safety expert.

Bob Green, Survive the Drive President and Executive Director will be presenting an interactive and highly energetic presentation addressing the distractions that affect teens “today”. Parents, grandparents, teens, anyone who could use a lesson in distracted driving are encouraged to attend. “Drivers have always had distractions, now the distractions are more pervasive and intrusive. Lives can change in a heartbeat, the slightest error can be tragic”. said Green.

The program will be hosted with refreshments and an onsite tour by Grand Prix New York at 333 North Bedford Road in Mount Kisco, NY on March 26th from 6-8pm. $10 donation, per person.
