|
How do I register for one of your programs?
The best way is to
register here on our website -
Registration.
You can also call us for questions at 630-825-TEEN, or
825-8336. Payment in full is required at registration. We accept
Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover
cards.
|
| What
are the class sizes and the ratio of instructors to
students? The
Teen Driving Academy limits each class to a maximum of
16 students, and we maintain an instructor to student
ratio of at least one instructor for every four
students.
|
| What
about bad weather?
Your teen will have to
drive in all kinds of weather, so we will not cancel or
postpone a scheduled training day due to inclement
weather (other than lightning or severe storms).
|
| What is
your cancellation policy?
Full refunds will be
offered for cancellations which are confirmed at least 7
calendar days before the scheduled training date.
Cancellations for any reason which occur less than 7
calendar days before a scheduled training date will
result in 80% refund of the full payment.
|
|
Can I use my own car for the exercises?
No, not at this level
of training. Each car brings it's own condition and
vehicle dynamics, which are different from the cars
that we have designed the drills around. The
consistency in car dynamics and control
characteristics helps us to create a safe
environment for learning.
|
|
What is covered during the program?
The
training program starts at 7:15 a.m. with registration
and breakfast, with the first classroom session
beginning at 8:30 a.m. Behind the wheel drills take up
most of the rest of the day, with a lunch break in
between. Drills include emergency braking,
skid control, crash avoidance and vehicle familiarity
and maintenance. We
will normally finish by 4:30 pm .
|
| What
does the Parent Program cover?
The Parent Program is an
integral part of the Teen Driving Academy, and
attendance will enhance the overall effectiveness of
your teen’s ultimate experience. For $99 parents are
able to experience the drills that their teens will be
performing. There will be a classroom session focusing
on the major risk areas for teen car crashes and how you
can actively work with your teen to reduce those risks.
Next, we’ll go through a Crashproof Plan which addresses
speeding, drinking, drugs, road rage, passengers,
distractions and other risks and give you a step-by-step
plan for helping keep your teen alive on the road.
Finally, you’ll receive a tour of the Autobahn
facilities, and you will be able to do touring laps on
the track, with an instructor, to review car balance and
handling skills.
|
| Does
any part of the program present a risk for me or my
teen?
Our
exercises are conducted in settings with open
spaces and plenty of safeguards. The driving maneuvers
and exercises are not conducted at high speeds, and our
instructors ensure a safe, controlled environment.
|
| Why
does the teen program cost $495?
Comparable programs around
the country can cost over $1,000 per day. Other
programs with extensive corporate sponsorship, or with
large numbers of participants receiving minimal
behind-the-wheel time and instruction, can cost less.
We have established a world-class program at the
Autobahn, using a $30 million facility, $250,000 worth
of new cars and highly skilled, professional
instructors. We are also unique in offering a parent
program, because parents are an essential part of
developing safe teen driving skills and attitudes.
|
How do I get to the
Autobahn Country Club?
Take 55 South to 80 East to 53 South to Laraway
Road. Right To Patterson Road. Take a left, the
entrance to the A.C.C will be on your right.
