Motor Vehicle Safety for Young Drivers

Many motor vehicle crashes are preventable and there are proven strategies that can improve the safety of teens on the road.

Our team hosts teen driving activities statewide, focusing on speeding, seat belt use, distracted driving, and impaired driving. Services include classroom presentations, mock crash demos, and “Survive the Drive” campaigns for prom and football season.

A driving simulator allows teens to practice driving in hazardous situations as well potentially risky scenarios (distracted driving or impaired driving) in a safe environment. The computerized simulator is used in conjunction with classroom training to allow participants to demonstrate what they have learned, ultimately increasing learning retention.
