To Parents and Students attending the October 2026 Street Survival Class --
Welcome to our Tire Rack Street Survival class for teen drivers! We're glad you're taking this valuable time to actively learn methods of accident avoidance and vehicle control. Students and Parents will be amazed how much students will build on their skills throughout the day.

Location of our class venue is the Raleigh Police Dept. Driver Training facility located at 8401 Battle Bridge Road Raleigh 27610 NOTE - Using "8401 Range Drive" will provide more accurate directions.

If you don’t feel well, stay home. Cancel your registration as soon as possible.

Some things to be aware of and proactively do:
1. Please plan to arrive at the school venue no later than 8:00AM sharp !
2. Please totally EMPTY the vehicle that is to be driven, of all items. This includes the trunk, glove-box, door pockets, and all seating areas (look under the seat too!) No loose items may remain in the cabin; nothing hanging from the mirror. If you're not sure, take it out.

3. Please inflate all tire pressures to Manufacturer’s specifications (look inside driver’s side door-buck for the sticker that has the spec’s)….typically around 32 psi.

4. If your vehicle has wheel lug locks, please be sure to bring the keys to those with you.

5. Please inspect and assure that your vehicle's battery restraint bracket is tight and secured. Loose batteries are a hazard.

6. All participants must present their permit or license at registration.

7. Dress to be outside all day. Our class will be in an open sided tent.

All vehicles will be inspected by our staff prior to use on our driving exercise course.

All students must wear close-toed shoes (NO flip-flops or sandals allowed), for purposes of safety and best performance in our driving exercises.

Classes will end at 4:30PM and conclude with a Graduation ceremony for all
students. We ask that all parents return to the event venue no later than 4:00PM, if they have left the premises earlier in the day.
