Tire Rack Street Survival School

Driver Training that Saves Lives!

SSS Combined Logos

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 $125 including HST, for a full day of training, lunch and refreshments.

AM-6The Tire Rack Street Survival School goes beyond traditional driver education programs; the primary emphasis of the program is a “hands-on” driving experience with in-car skills-development in a closely supervised environment. Participants perform a series of exercises designed to teach the handling limits of their cars and make them safer drivers. Where else would students learn these skills and have the opportunity to practice them, before needing to use these skills in an emergency?
