Details:
Across the U.S., vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for novice teen drivers, and they are twice as likely as adult drivers to be in a fatal crash.
Ford Driving Skills for Life teaches teen drivers the necessary skills for safe driving beyond what they learn in standard driver education programs. Established in 2003 by Ford Motor Company Fund, the Governors Highway Safety Association and a panel of safety experts, the award-winning program pairs newly licensed and teen drivers with professional instructors during free, hands-on driving clinics. In Washington D.C., the program is in partnership with the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles.
Since 2003, Ford Driving Skills for Life has provided free, advanced driver education to approximately 1.5 million newly licensed teen drivers in all 50 U.S. states and 46 countries worldwide.
Media:
Media are invited to cover the hands-on driving clinics, and also participate in the training. Representatives from Ford Driving Skills for Life are available for interviews.
