Street Survival – Salem, VA

Blue Ridge Region PCA and Shenandoah Region PCA are excited to be hosting a Street Survival School for teen drivers on Sunday, October 4, 2026, at the Salem, Virginia Civic Center.
Tire Rack Street Survival is a nation wide, hands-on, day-long workshop where teens get behind the wheel of their own cars to learn real-world car control. Instead of just hearing about safety, they actually experience what it feels like to engage ABS, manage a skid, and avoid a collision in a controlled environment with a one-on-one coach. For a parent, it’s the best way to turn a ‘new driver’ into a ‘skilled driver’ before they ever encounter a real emergency.


“Most teen driving programs teach you how to pass a test; we teach you how to survive the road.”
