Findlay Chevrolet will host the next SMARTeen DRIVER event on Wednesday, April 20th, from 6pm-8pm.
SMARTeen Driver auto safety and car care clinics aim to counter that trend, according to founder Sarah Lee Marks. “Our hands-on events are designed to teach teens how to properly care for their cars, so the car takes care of them when they’re out on the road.” Findlay Chevrolet General Manager Jamaal McCoy added, “Providing our facilities, staff and vehicles to the SMARTeen program allows us to showcase the latest technology Chevrolet has added to make teen drivers safer behind the wheel. New Cruze models include radio dimming controls until seat-belts are secure, and Bluetooth is standard.” As many young people wait until age 18 to take their license exam, they often age out of the 30 hour Driver’s Education requirement. As a result, many new Nevada teen drivers are starting their driving careers without any Driver’s Education classes.Teen driver fatalities rise at age 18, according to National highway statistics.
Insurance and legal guest experts will offer attendees tips on saving money on teen premiums and knowing your rights and responsibilities under the law. All area teens are welcome to attend this FREE event, with parents and friends. Findlay Chevrolet, the host dealership offers the classroom and garage with lifts to enhance the practical curriculum. As facilitator, MyCarladys’ Sarah Lee will assist each teen as they test their newly acquired car care knowledge on their own vehicles, under the watchful eyes of certified Findlay technicians. Prizes and gifts for attendees and quick learners. Food and beverages will be served. Gifts and prizes will be awarded to attendees for their accomplishments.

Offering these FREE classes in the most essential basic skills for driving a car, is critical under these circumstances”, continues Marks.
