Street Survival 2025 Aug 23rd
2025-08-23 | NCCAR, Garysburg, NC, 310 Technology Drive, Garysburg, NC, United States
SAVE THE DATE
Aug. 23rd 2025

The Tidewater Chapter is holding its 2025 Street Survival driving event for our area teenage drivers on Aug 23rd.
The primary emphasis of Street Survival® is a “hands-on” driving experience in real-world situations! We use your own car to teach you about its handling limits and how you can control them. The students will become more observant of the traffic situation they find themselves in. They will learn to look far enough ahead to anticipate unwise actions of other drivers. As the students master the application of physics to drive their cars, they will make fewer unwise driving actions themselves. They will understand why they should always wear their own seatbelts, and why they should insist that their passengers wear seatbelts, too.
It’s about more than driving – it’s about LIVING!
