Drive Safer created the Building Blocks™ Young Teen Driving Program at the request of hundreds of parents of 14 and 15 year old teenagers.  Like you, they have heard that motor vehicle crashes are the number one killer of teens and that being in a car as a driver or passenger with a teen driver is the most dangerous thing a teen will ever do!

Further, we know that this devastating epidemic of serious teen injuries and fatalities due to motor vehicle crashes can be avoided – with one thing – experience!

The Building Blocks™ Young Teen Driving Program is just that.  It is a way to start amassing experience sooner, so when the time comes to get their permit and their driver license, your teen is MORE prepared, has more experience, and has already begun building proper habits.

The program is for parents too! Parents are the most important role models for their teens when it comes to many things – including driving.  When you enroll in our Building Blocks™ Young Teen Driving Program, parents are provided with training on the proper parenting styles when it comes to driving, as well as many critical tips and tricks for preparing their teen for success!
