We take the safety of new drivers very seriously. To help new drivers become safe drivers, we partnered with the Governors Highway Safety Association to create Driving Skills for Life.
Helping New Drivers Become Safe Drivers
With help from a panel of safety experts, we identified four skill areas—hazard recognition, vehicle handling, space management and speed management. Deficiency in these areas is responsible for the majority of teen traffic crashes, the leading killer of teens.
To help teen drivers improve their safe driving skills in these four areas, we created Driving Skills for Life. To support this program, we developed a multiyear educational campaign aimed at teens, parents and the driver education community.
Educational materials created for Driving Skills for Life include brochures, videos, interactive web features, courses and workshops, community activities, public service announcements and exhibits at conventions and conferences.
Educational Kits Distributed Nationwide
As part of the Driving Skills for Life program, we sent educational kits to every public, private and parochial high school in the United States. These kits included a 30-minute DVD about safe driving, brochures, and letters to educators and parents stressing the importance of teaching teens about safe driving.
