Free teen defensive driving school is coming to the Phoenix Raceway

Posted

The teen defensive driving program, Be Responsible and Keep Everyone Safe, or B.R.E.A.K., will be hosted at the Phoenix Raceway, with training sessions on Saturday, March 18, and Sunday, March 19.

Law enforcement officers and professional racing drivers will be  teaching the teens and their parents how to be safer on the road. 

Exercises include distracted driving awareness, panic braking, Avoidance, drop-wheel/off-road recovery and car control/skid recovery. 

The  charity was founded by multi-time  racing champion Doug Herbert in honor of his two sons, Jon and James, who lost their lives in a  car crash in 2008.

Herbert turned that personal tragedy into a lifesaving mission that has trained more than 110,000 teens and parents to date. 

Registration for the free program is available at www.putonthebrakes.org.
