The Reality Check

What is it?

The Reality Check is a one-day, four-hour behind the wheel program on a closed course.
The course is offered on selected Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 12-noon and 1:00 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Drivers use their own vehicles so they can learn how the vehicle they drive most often responds under emergency braking and quick steering maneuvers.

Who it’s for?

Any driver who wants to refine their collision avoidance skills.
Perfect for new drivers to help them learn collision avoidance skills quickly, and get a “Reality Check” on their skill level and what their vehicle can and can’t do.
“Nervous Drivers” who want more confidence behind the wheel.
New car owners who want to get a feel for how their car will handle in emergency situations.

Spend time with an instructor, who will show you how to make better decisions while driving and review the basic rules of the road.
