The content
This free workshop will be 2 hours in length, and will feature 3 different topics and speakers:
Driving Skills & Knowledge - Mark Cyphers (Ridgefield Driving School)
Driving in bad weather and snow, highway driving including how to tackle short on-ramps, importance distance and speed, etc.
Driver’s Safety, Operating within the Law - Ridgefield Police Department.
As our young drivers will, hopefully, have limited interaction with the police, I thought to include them in the workshop to give perspective on how law enforcement sees drivers' common mistakes and poor judgement calls, proper procedure when you are pulled over by a police officer, as well as how to respond when being first on scene at a serious automobile accident, or what to do when you yourself are involved in one. Approaching Emergency vehicle protocol.
Auto Mechanics - Tim Pambianchi (Pamby Motors)
Topics will include oil changes, coolant, battery care, tire pressure, jump starting, anchor points for the jack, tire changing, familiarity with what is under the hood. Bringing your own car is encouraged.
Monday April 29th 2024 from 7-9pm
The event took place at the Ridgefield Driving School at 37 Danbury Road for the first two topics and then continued at Pamby Motors at 143 Danbury Road for the hands-on mechanical part.
