LAKEPORT, Calif. – Several spaces are still available in the car control clinic offered by the National Auto Sport Association and California Highway Patrol this Saturday, May 3.

The clinic will begin at 8 a.m. with briefings and introductions in the parking lot at Lakeside Family Fun and Event Center, 872 Lakeport Blvd.

For both new and experienced drivers, the clinic teaches the proper responses in different situations.

Participants will take part in hard braking exercises, including turns while max braking; slalom through cones to get the feel of where the corners are on your car; and use a skid pad that enables you to get your car loose then practice recovering control.

The fee is $99 per person, which covers insurance costs plus other administrative costs. Scholarships are available for those that are in need. The class number is limited to 20.
