Toyota is hosting its hands-on teen and parent advanced driving skills program, “Toyota Driving Expectations,” in East Boston, Mass. at Suffolk Downs, April 25-27.

Offered free of charge, the program goes beyond what is taught in typical driver training classes by putting teens behind the wheel to face challenging, real-world scenarios under the supervision of professional drivers. It is also one of the only programs of its kind that requires teens to attend with a parent or guardian so they can learn how to drive more safely together.

In East Boston, 14 program sessions will be held—two four-hour sessions on Friday, April 25 between 1 p.m. - 6 p.m. and six four-hour sessions on both Saturday and Sunday, April 26-27 between 8 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. Registration is now open online at www.toyotadrivingexpectations.com.

Each four-hour Toyota Driving Expectations program begins with an opening session for all participants where they are introduced to the privilege and risk associated with driving as well as the program’s curriculum, which includes driving courses and classroom-style sessions with tailored content on a broad range of driving-related topics.

The driving courses help teens practice how to best keep their eyes on the road, learn about how anti-lock braking systems work on both wet and dry roads and demonstrate how everyday distractions, to which new drivers are especially prone, can have unexpected, hazardous effects.

Parents also drive a distraction course so they can experience how reducing focus on the road poses serious dangers. At the end of the program, to reinforce what they learned, teens and parents develop a safe driving contract together to be put into practice when they return home.
