Awarded for Student SkidCar Trainings
Deschutes County would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the High Desert Porsche Club for once again selecting Deschutes County’s SkidCar program as a recipient of their generous scholarship dollars to benefit student drivers.
SkidCar training scholarship winners are selected with the help of the High Desert Driver’s Education program staff by holding drawings at local high schools. The scholarship funds will enable 28 students to attend the SkidCar program. Students are very enthusiastic about this life-saving training opportunity and are scheduling their classes through Risk Management staff (right-Senior Secretary Robin Edwards).

The SkidCar can simulate the driving conditions of rain, ice, and snow, while allowing drivers to gain experience and confidence in a safe and controlled environment.
Deschutes County offers SkidCar training classes seven-days-a-week, by appointment, with a maximum of three participants per class. Many insurance companies will offer premium discounts for completing the course.
