LAKEPORT, Calif. – A teen car control clinic is scheduled to take place at the Holder Ford lot on S. Main Street in Lakeport on Saturday, Oct. 22.

The clinic will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

This teen car clinic will show young drivers how to control a skid, demonstrate just what ABS and traction control does for a car while needing to make rapid turns under braking.

It also will show young drivers how to recover from inadvertent dropping of two wheels while driving these local two lane roads. They also will do some backing drills and parallel parking exercises.

The clinic costs $99 a student with scholarships available for those that qualify.

The Clear Lake High Athletic Association will offer lunch; for $5 students can purchase a burger, chips and soft drink.
