Ford Driving Skills for Life free hands-on clinics help newly licensed drivers (teens with a permit or license) improve their skills in key areas that are critical factors in the majority of vehicle crashes, including Vehicle Handling and Slide Control. We also include a comprehensive section on Distracted and Simulated Impaired Driving, as well as our Safety in Mobility exercise on Pedestrian and Scooter Safety.

Ford Driving Skills for Life offers free, hands-on driving clinics designed to help newly licensed drivers—teens with either a learner’s permit or a driver’s license—strengthen critical skills that address the leading causes of vehicle crashes. Participants receive instruction and practice in these key areas:

• Vehicle Handling
• Speed and Space Management
• Distracted and Impaired Driving, along with Safety in Mobility

This course provides newly licensed drivers with the opportunity to practice these essential skills in a safe, controlled environment, guided by professional instructors who ride alongside teen drivers. The clinic is the next step beyond traditional driver education courses and a valuable addition to a young driver’s learning journey. 

To attend a Ford Driving Skills for Life hands-on clinic, participants must have either a learner’s permit or a driver’s license. The program is completely free of charge, and vehicles are provided for use during the event.

***Closed-toe shoes are mandatory and required to be on site (teens and parents/chaperones). No sandals. No slides.

Parents and guardians are strongly encouraged to attend and learn alongside their teen drivers. An informational session for parents will also be offered as part of the clinic.
