Community clinics offer novice drivers important
tips to ensure a safe ride as they head back to
school
FORT
LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 28,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As novice teenage drivers head
back to school this year to begin an exciting new chapter in their
academic and social lives, particularly with a newly minted
independence of a driver's license, AutoNation, Inc.
(NYSE:AN), America's most admired automotive retailer, will
host complimentary one-hour Teen Driver Safety Clinics at
AutoNation USA stores coast to
coast, to help promote a safe ride.
"The top risks for new teen drivers range from distractions from
their phone to inexperience, speeding, and nighttime driving," said
Marc Cannon, Executive Vice
President and Chief Customer Experience Officer for AutoNation.
"Education is key to helping young new drivers stay safe on the
road, which is why we are partnering with local organizations to
host clinics around the country that will teach teens safety
skills, along with some essential car care tips. We are proud to
offer this complimentary community service for the first time this
year."
AutoNation's Back to School Teen Driver Safety Clinics are one
hour and taught by a community expert on the topic. Driver safety
curriculum includes a range of topics such as distracted and
impaired driving, proper driving positioning, and seatbelt usage,
as well as instruction on what to do when pulled over for a traffic
violation or when faced with a field sobriety test.
A local AutoNation Service Associate will also be present at
each location to share hands-on car care tips such as jumpstarting
a battery, proper tire inflation, changing a flat tire, checking
vehicle fluids and safety items to store in a car in case of an
emergency. Students and parents who participate will have
opportunities to ask questions and will receive a mini car care kit
with essential items to support their safety and car care journey.
Parents and or guardians are encouraged to participate with
their teen(s). Registration is required to attend. To find the
