Driver Training that Saves Lives!
Stats Canada reports that motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death among drivers in their first 10 years of driving. They account for over 70 percent of accidental deaths in that age group.
In an effort to reduce this risk and save lives, UCR collaborates with the BMW Trillium Club to deliver the Tire Rack Street Survival School in the GTA. This program is designed for relatively new drivers, within their first 10 years of driving, IN ANY CAR. There is no need to be a member of either the BMW Club or UCR to participate. This is a community service initiative, and the cost is only $175 including HST, for a full day of training, lunch and refreshments.
The Tire Rack Street Survival School isn’t just classroom driver ed—it’s hands-on, in-car training in a closely supervised setting. Students practice real-world car control and crash-avoidance skills, learning how their vehicles respond at the limits of handling. Where else can drivers safely build these life-saving skills before they’re needed in an emergency?
