Teen Driver Safety, Coronavirus Concerns
Episode: 20
Broadcast date: March 15, 2020
Guest: Tony Kester
Host Tom Appel and co-hosts Jill Ciminillo and Damon Bell kick off the show by discussing the effect of the coronavirus pandemic on auto shows and automotive press events, and what this means for the future of auto shows. Next, we talk about our test-drive experiences with the new-for-2020 BMW 850i xDrive Gran Coupe. Tony Kester, Chief Instructor & Managing Director of Driving Programs for the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Illinois, calls in to discuss the Autobahn’s Teen Driver Safety Training program. Tom has a Mitsubishi-themed quiz for Damon and Jill, and Damon runs down the latest articles on the Consumer Guide Daily Drive blog–including our First Spin review of the redesigned-for-2020 Toyota Highlander.
