SurvivetheDrive® 
 

A Driver Safety Program with a Difference SurvivetheDrive is an “Automotive Violence Prevention” program that teaches teens (and adults) the causes and effects of driver errors. This is a risk-awareness program that focuses on our driving behaviors and the Newtonian forces on the car and driver; physics. The car is not smart enough to crash itself, few crashes are accidents. The consequence of any inadvertent or unintentional collision can be worse than damage or expense. We’re all vulnerable. We focus on the individual’s conscious understanding of the ever-present operational hazards of heavy, moving equipment. Many Programs focus on the “after effects” of driver error; crash emergency services enactments, graphic mutilation scenes of family and friends emotional grief and sorrow….”what someone else has done” and the consequences that happened to them. SurvivetheDrive can be scheduled as a stand-alone assembly or as an accompanying presentation and focuses on each student’s competence and desire to be the “Best Behind the Wheel." Our primary goal at SurvivetheDrive® is to reach every newly licensed or soon to be licensed teen, to give each another tool that may define their adulthood. Watch our 2½ minute video. Past and present novice driver training and DMV driver testing have been shown to have little deterrent effect the crash rates. “Graduated Driver Licensing in most states amounts to the cheapest, least troublesome method of providing “controlled experience” to limit the circumstances and conditions of independent teenage driving; less driving under better circumstances certainly reduces the teenage crash rate; but without extended, structured, competence training we can’t expect extended improved results.
