Free National Teen Defensive Driving School Heads To Cal State San Marcos February 1-2 Weekend
by Puton The Brakes Puton The Brakes:
The
national free teen defensive driving program B.R.A.K.E.S. (Be Responsible and Keep Everyone Safe)
will head to the San Diego area on the weekend of February 1 and 2, visiting
California State University, San Marcos. Sessions will be held from 8
a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. both days.
Utilizing vehicles provided by
Kia Motors, the B.R.A.K.E.S. program offers teens extensive behind-the-wheel
instruction from professional trainers including current and former law
enforcement officers as well as professional racing drivers, teaching the teens
and their parents how to be safer on the road. Exercises include
Distracted Driving Awareness, Panic Braking, Crash Avoidance,
Drop-wheel/Off-road Recovery and Car Control/Skid Recovery.
The fact: Car crashes are
the number-one cause of death among teens, ending more lives every day than
murder, suicide or disease. The result: B.R.A.K.E.S. graduates are 64
percent less likely to get in a crash within their first three years of
driving.
The 501(c)(3) charity was
founded by multi-time Top Fuel drag racing champion Doug Herbert in honor of
his two sons, Jon and James, who lost their lives in a tragic car crash in
2008. Herbert turned that personal tragedy into a lifesaving mission that has
trained more than 40,000 teens across the country.
