B.R.A.K.E.S. – Driving Class

Ongoing

The B.R.A.K.E.S. Teen Pro-Active Driving School is a free, defensive driving program. The school is designed for teenagers, ages 15-19 who already have a learner’s permit or driver’s license and have at least 30 hours of driving experience.

B.R.A.K.E.S. Graduates are approximately 64% LESS likely to have a car crash in their first three years of driving.

Classes are held throughout the year and throughout the country, not just California.
Click here for more information and to register for one of the classes: https://putonthebrakes.org/

What are B.R.A.K.E.S. primary goals?

To prevent injuries and save lives by training and educating teenage drivers and their parents about the importance of safe and responsible driving.

Isn’t conventional driver’s education adequate training for teenagers?

While conventional driver’s education is important and valuable, the Teen Pro-Active Driving Curriculum goes beyond that level of training by addressing driving situations responsible for many traffic collisions involving teens.

Examples?

Collision Avoidance using a slalom curriculum to teach elevated steering control; a Distraction Exercise to teach increased focus and concentration; a Wheel Drop-Off Recovery Exercise to teach the proper method of retaining control when the vehicle drops a wheel off a highway shoulder; a Panic Stop Exercise to give teenagers safer and more controlled responses when braking in an emergency; a Car Control and Recovery Exercise that teaches the skills necessary to maintain or regain control in wet or icy road conditions.

Who are the instructors for B.R.A.K.E.S. Teen Pro-Active Driving Curriculum and what are their qualifications?

B.R.A.K.E.S. utilizes instructors from various backgrounds who have extensive experience with advanced driver training and defensive driving instruction. Their credentials include experience as accomplished race drivers and skilled driving instructors. In fact, many of our instructors have provided training for numerous automobile manufacturers, while others have experience as advanced defensive driving instructors to the United States Secret Service and various private security organizations.

How much does it cost to attend a B.R.A.K.E.S. Teen Pro-Active Driving Curriculum?

The B.R.A.K.E.S. Teen Pro-Active Driving Curriculum is offered free of charge;however, we require a $99 refundable deposit to hold your spot. As a non-profit 501 (c)3 organization, B.R.A.K.E.S. relies on donations, sponsorships, and various fundraising events to allow them to provide this lifesaving program to teenagers across the country.
