About Our Program
Teen Street Skills is a new community program, led by Robbie Buhl, educating teen drivers ages 15-21 with a legal driving permit on street safety. More than the typical driver's education program, teens will learn about how to maximize their car's performance in order to properly react to adverse conditions.
This program puts teens behind the wheel to learn skills that will be used for a lifetime. This includes techniques teens need to be safe and responsible drivers on our community’s streets, including:
Driving Basics, Defensive Driving Behavior
Skid Control
Emergency Braking
Accident Avoidance
and much more!
“Great experience. Nicest instructors. Wonderful thing for the community! Thank you!”

“My son got a lot out of the program. I’m so glad we took advantage of this opportunity. As a mom I feel a little less nervous about him being on the road. Thank you!”
THE PROGRAM
Young drivers are put in “panic” situations in a safe environment on a closed course with professional driving instructors.
