SOUNDBITES - Driving Skills for Life - MyKey™As National Teen Driver Safety Week kicks off, Ford Motor Company is increasing its efforts to reduce teen crashes and fatalities through education and technology. Ford is expanding the reach of its nationwide award-winning driver’s education program, Driving Skills for Life, and recently introduced MyKeyTM, an innovative technology that helps reinforce safe driving practices. A recent Harris Interactive Survey, commissioned by Ford, shows 57 percent of parents worry that cell phone conversations are distracting their teen drivers and 51 percent worry about speeding. The numbers are reversed for teens as 44 percent admit to speeding, but only 34 percent say they actually talk on their phones while driving. Professional Driving instructor Randy Bleicher (Bly-shur), along with a team of NASCAR and Indy 500 instructors, says the Driving Skills for Life program addresses the distraction issue. |
