Michigan state police are hosting their first U.P. Teen Defensive Driving course in just two more weeks. A long-time program, that shows teen proper defensive driving maneuvers, typically takes place downstate. Due to the pandemic, m-s-p had to put off bringing the program to students in the Upper Peninsula. The defensive driving course will be in Escanaba, at the Midwest Truck Driving School.
Right now the course has about 20 students already registered, and plenty of room for more to join. The course will start June 27. And are four hour classes, primarily focused on driving a car and implementing what students learn in the classroom to the track. The course is 75 dollars per student. Lieutenant Giannunzio did say that the registration page may confuse some members of the public.
