Race Car Drivers Teach Teens Safe Driving Skills
Teens across the nation are becoming safer drivers, thanks to Driver's Edge, a nonprofit organization founded by professional driver Jeff Payne. This initiative aims to reduce youth-related automobile collisions and fatalities.
Each year, Driver's Edge conducts a National Tour, bringing a team of professional race car drivers and driving instructors to 15 U.S. cities. During these sessions, teens receive comprehensive training, including:
- Defensive Driving: Teens learn skid control, evasive maneuvers, and techniques for handling anti-lock and panic braking through both classroom instruction and hands-on experience.
- Law Enforcement Engagement: Local officers educate participants on impaired driving risks and the critical importance of seat belt use.
- Car Maintenance: Based on Firestone Complete Auto Care's renowned Car Care Academies, students gain valuable insights into vehicle upkeep.
- Knowledge Assessment: Written tests evaluate students’ driving knowledge before and after the program to measure their progress.
For those unable to attend a Driver's Edge session, here are some essential safety tips from the experts:
- Stay Alert: Always be aware of your surroundings. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that driver inattention contributes to nearly 80% of crashes.
- Handling Skids: In a skid, keep your feet off the pedals and focus on steering to regain control. Once stabilized, use the pedals as needed.
- Spinning Out: If you lose control, remember "in a spin, both feet in." This means pressing firmly on the brake and clutch (if driving a manual) to try and stop safely.
By providing these vital lessons, Driver's Edge equips teens with the tools they need for safer driving.
