What Is It?
This virtual driving experience will allow students to safely navigate scenarios involving:
- Distracted Driving (texting, talking, eating)
- Weather Hazards
- Reckless Driving
Why It Matters
Car crashes are one of the leading causes of death for teens in the U.S. This simulator is a powerful way to help students:
- Recognize and avoid dangerous behaviors
- Learn safe driving habits before they’re behind the wheel
- Gain confidence to make smart decisions
- Understand real consequences—without the real risk
What Families Can Do
You play a key role in your teen’s safety. Here are a few simple ways to support this experience:
- Start a conversation about what they learned
- Model safe driving habits at home
- Set family rules for car use and phone use
- Discuss peer pressure and how to say no
