A nationally known teen driving program makes a rare stop in Chattanooga Saturday, and a few remaining slots are still available.
The program will be held at Chattanooga State for 30 young drivers between the ages of 16-21.
It is sponsored by Tire Rack, BMW of Chattanooga, and the Chattanooga Region Sports Car Club of America.
The event is from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. and the registration fee is $60.
Young drivers will be taught how to avoid accidents while driving their own car.
Since enrollment is limited, immediate registration is recommended.
The Tire Rack Street Survival school is a safe teen driving program designed to go beyond today's required driver's education and give teens across the U.S. the driving tools and hands-on experience to become safer, smarter drivers. Trained and qualified in-car driving instructors are provided as well as classroom experience for each student.
Scott Dobler, one of the local organizers, said his own son took the course last year, "and the difference in his confidence and ability improved dramatically in one day." He said some insurance companies offer premium discounts to graduates of the one day program.

The Street Survival program is also scheduled to return to Chattanooga State on Oct. 18, and to Dade County High School in Trenton, Ga., on Nov. 15.
