Guard your life challenge

The Guard Your Life Challenge

The training is fun, but our mission is serious.

When you go to a beach or a water park you'll find they have one thing in common - lifeguards. Lifeguards make sure that you don't do anything dangerous or reckless and will rescue you if you get in over your head. When you get behind the wheel of a car there is no lifeguard. You have to be willing to guard your own life.

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, volunteers and past students, Guard Your Life does not cost you anything except a refundable deposit to hold your spot in the class. What we ask in return is that you fulfill the Guard Your Life Challenge. You can Guard Your Life by:

Wear your seatbelt whenever you are in a moving vehicle
Operate your vehicle in a safe manner
Never text and drive or ride with anyone who does
Only use your phone when it is safe to do so
Never operate a vehicle under the influence or ride with anyone under the influence

Going beyond driver's ed

The idea behind the Guard Your Life Challenge is to share some of the skills and knowledge to handle whatever the road might throw at you. Under the supervision of BMW-certified instructors, and with a wide range of driving conditions, you're exposed to what most drivers might only experience in a lifetime of driving.

Your instructors

Your training is provided by BMW Performance Driving School instructors. These instructors all have NASCAR, Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) or International Motor Sports Assoc. (IMSA) backgrounds. All instructors have raced professionally, many have taught law enforcement or secret service, and they are very, very, good.

Your instructors have spent their entire professional careers perfecting the ability to get out of tough driving situations. And, they all love to teach what they know.

Your rides

Oh yeah, did we mention Guard Your Life classes use brand new BMWs?
