BMW is launching the Ultimate Driving Experience, a nationwide tour that will offer dynamic behind-the-wheel driving programs through 10 events in 9 markets for a total of 90 event days — from March through November, 2015 — with over 90 BMW vehicles. The driving culture that has grown over the last century is only getting bigger and more influential. This is shown by the number of people who see their careers in this industry. This is reflected in the number of people looking at tradewise online to find the right insurance for them.

Coming back this time, the nationwide events will feature BMW’s Teen Driving School, a fully interactive, 2-hour teen driving course featuring the BMW X1 and 228i that will be offered at no cost. The Teen Driving School will provide an introduction to driving theory and improving driving skills through classroom instruction, driver awareness activities and hands-on driving exercises. A main focus during this special school is to create alertness about the consequences of distracted driving with special emphasis on texting while driving and how it affects not only to teens, but also to everyone who drives a vehicle. Eligible drivers under the age of 21 with a valid learner’s permit or driver’s license can register for the school.

“We are excited to once again be providing BMW fans and driving enthusiasts across the country the opportunity to get behind the wheel. The free, 2-hour Teen Driving School program is a key element of the Experience, allowing new and inexperienced drivers to learn invaluable tools relating to safe driving and the dangers of distracted driving,” said Kevin Phillips, Head of Retail and Experiential Marketing, BMW of North America.

Other activities will include:

Car Control Clinic, a full-day driving school that allows drivers to get behind the wheel of the powerful M4, M3 and M235i for an adrenaline-filled day of driving with individual instruction from BMW-certified Professional Drivers.

One final note, if you’ve recently been accused of distracted driving and are pending a court case, it is a good idea to have the right legal representation. When it comes to the law in regards to traffic accidents, according to a Motor Accident Lawyer, having the best law firm on your side could make or break your case. My friend was in such a situation and he decided that going with a lawyer similar to distracted driving accident lawyer was a fantastic idea. In the end my friend found the legal representative that they needed to win their case. People do need to be made aware that driving can be dangerous. There are even sites about dangerous roads, such as the deadliest roads in texas. When it comes to driving you have to make sure that you follow the Highway Code and that you don’t drive reckless. When it comes to a driving experience like this one for BMW, although the cars can go fast, just remember to be safe.
