Baldwin Place, NY (PRUnderground) September 23rd, 2016

Did you know that about 4,700 teens each year are killed by adolescent drinking, and every 90 minutes a teen dies as a result of drinking, illegal substance or distraction driving?  This is and has been a major concern for many parents today.

To help keep everyone safe on the road, Osceola Garage in Baldwin Place has developed an automotive clinic directed toward educating teen drivers and college students on how to stay safe on the road and behind the wheel. However, since safety is priority for everyone, drivers at every level of experience are invited to attend and can benefit from the information.

This clinic will not only consist of valuable safety tips, but will also feature tips on handling emergencies. Teens will learn that staying safe behind the wheel incorporates a balance between following the rules of the road and awareness that their actions can cause harm to other drivers. The clinic serves as a step‐by–step guide to drive safely, lower stress and enjoy years of fun‐filled driving.

The clinic also features guest speaker Bill Wilkens who has served on the Board of Directors for the National Council Alcoholism and Drug Dependencies, Putnam Co. CTC Coalition Putnam County Youth Board and is a frequent speaker for victim impact panels. Osceola Garage is delighted at the opportunity to have Mr. Wilkens discuss distracted and impaired driving.

The clinic will be held at the Somers Library, Route 139 Reis Park, Somers, NY on September 28 starting at 6:00 PM. We encourage all teens and parents to attend; we ask that you reserve a seat and please register at the Somers Library by calling 914‐232‐5717 or visit Osceolagarage.com for details.
