Teen Drivers

[Slow_Old_Poop]

My daughter, “Crash Cathy,” had 10 accidents before she was 18 years old. I couldn’t afford to send her to the Bondurant Teenage school, so I took her to a Porsche Club driving school (no, I don’t have a Porsche) for a two-day class. By the second day, she had her Contour sideways every lap coming out of Turn 16 at Heartland Park in Topeka, KS, and she hasn’t had an accident since. That was so successful, I took my son, Rob, to a BMW driving school at Road America and he, too, hasn’t had any accidents. These schools are relatively cheap ($200 to $400), available at a track near you, and you use your own car.
