LCCC Offers Young Driver Classes Using TransSim VS5 Driving Simulator for Fall 2017

This fall, Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC) will offer noncredit classes in its Young Driver Program for the public.

The Young Driver Program is a comprehensive training experience for students in the process of getting their driver’s license or for the recently licensed driver who is interested in additional education and training.

The class includes time in LCCC’s driving simulator, TransSim VS5, to develop the reaction and critical thinking skills that new drivers need, and concentrates on the four key driving skills that safety experts believe are significant in preventing crashes, injuries and fatalities: hazard recognition, vehicle handling, space management and speed management.

The Young Driver Program takes place at LCCC main campus in Schnecksville. Evening sessions are held from 5 to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and from 5 to 9 p.m. on Thursdays, Aug. 15-17, Sept. 19-21, and Oct. 17-19, or Mondays and Tuesdays from 5 to 8 p.m. and Wednesdays from 5 to 9 p.m. on Nov. 20-22 and Dec. 18-20. Tuition is $180. Students require a valid email address at the time of registration for all class communications and document distribution.
