Vehicle crashes remain the number one killer of teenagers in the United States, claiming nearly 6,500 lives every year. But as young drivers gain experience, studies demonstrate the crash rates decline considerably. “Teen driver safety and awareness are the most important lessons to teach, so here at David Wilson’s Ford of Orange we are committed to providing this free event to our local community” said Chris Pratt, fleet and commercial director  for David Wilson’s Ford of Orange.
David Wilson’s Ford of Orange is supporting safe driving and awareness initiatives that educate new and existing drivers because they believe it is critical to making the roads safer for everyone. “We believe in the importance of driving right…from the start and encouraging teens to take the challenge of becoming safe drivers” added Pratt.
The event will include guest speakers from the California Highway Patrol who will speak to highway and state safety, as well as Orange and Anaheim Police Departments discussing local city traffic regarding teens. Representatives from the Department of Motor Vehicles will discuss the process of getting a driver’s license and Teen Road to Safety will discuss driving schools and the training process. This is a free event and all guest speakers will provide informational booths for parents and teens to ask questions and receive material handouts
