COLLISION AVOIDANCE TRAINING
The Collision Avoidance Training (C.A.T.) program is an advanced defensive driving and vehicle control program for licensed teenage drivers ages 16-20 years old. The one-day program (8.5 hours) is designed to provide young drivers with the knowl edge and understanding of vehicle dynamics.

The first section of the program is devoted to two (2) hours of classroom instruction.  The second section consists of six (6.5) hours of behind-the-wheel training.  During the behind-the-wheel training, students operate their own vehicles. Prior to the start of the training, each vehicle is inspected by an instructor to ensure that the vehicle is in good operational condition. Then each student, accompanied by an instructor (Howard County Police Officer), begins practicing the different driving skills/maneuvers. Each student must successfully complete each driving skill/maneuver in order to receive a certificate of completion. If the student does not satisfactorily complete the course, they are given the option of coming to another session for no additional cost.

The cost of the program is $95 and registration must be done in advance.

For further information or to register, please email C.A.T. Coordinator Jessica Beram at  JBeram@howardcountymd.gov. Note there is no online registration for the C.A.T. program.
