CHANDLER, Ariz., June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Driver's education is an important step in preparing teens to handle all types of driving situations safely.

Driver training experts The Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving and DrivingMBA have teamed up to create the Elite Driver Training Program, a course designed to provide teens with the proper foundation to become a safer driver, including increased confidence, awareness of your surroundings, a better understanding of personal and vehicle limitations, and respect for the road.

The new Elite Driver Training Program takes students through the entire driver training process, from permits and licensing to extensive seat time*. DrivingMBA provides classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction as well as experiential learning on state-of-the-art simulators. In addition, students learn vehicle dynamics, proper vision and improved awareness while driving Pontiac Solstices at the Bondurant High Performance Driving School's world-class training facility.

"We are committed to providing teens with a safe-driving skill set that will help them perform at optimum levels throughout a lifetime of driving," said CEO Bob Bondurant. "Our professional instructors teach slalom, skid control, cornering techniques, precision maneuvers and accident avoidance as part of this unique, hands-on training program."

Included in the Elite Driver Training Program is the Elite Package Assurance, a program in which Bondurant and DrivingMBA will pay up to $500 on a deductible incurred by a student within one year of his or her successful completion of all components of the Elite Driver Training Program. Certain conditions must be met in order for the program to apply: Students must be fully licensed and not violating a graduated license restriction at the time of the collision; proof of loss must be provided by an insurance company and a police report must show the student as the driver, among other restrictions. Contact Bondurant for more details.

Graduates of the Elite Driver Training Program are encouraged to expand their skills through Bondurant's Advanced Teen Driving program. For more information, pricing and enrollment scheduling, call 480.948.1648 or visit www.DrivingMBA.com.
