Teens Learn Safe Driving Techniques

Students get opportunity to test their driving skills at Canton High School.

Students and parents got the chance to test and improve their driving skills at a Safe Teen Driving Event at Canton High School Saturday. 

The event was sponsored by Community of Concern and the police department and funded by the Canton Community Health Fund. 

The Automobile Association of America brought a Skid Monster, which offers a similar feel to driving on ice and helps teens learn better control techniques. The Simsbury police provide a SIDNE (Simulated Intoxication Driving Experience) car.
