Mercury Insurance ‘Drive Safe Challenge’
12.11.17
When teens are new to driving, it can be a worrisome time, but Mercury Insurance is on a mission to educate new drivers, reduce teen driving fatalities and offer parents and teens tips and resources. In partnership with the Anaheim Ducks, Mercury Insurance hosted the second annual Drive Safe Challenge on Saturday, Dec. 9 at Honda Center in Anaheim with California Highway Patrol officers, professional drivers from Danny Mckeever’s Fast Lane Racing School and Anaheim Ducks.
Teens participated in a defensive driving program, which included hands-on driving skills training to practicing skid control, slalom and ABS braking, distracted driving and emergency lane change and evasive maneuver, as well as a two-hour CHP led classroom instruction.
For parents and teens who want to learn more, an interactive website at drivesafe.mercuryinsurance.com offers a wealth of information and tools, from teen driving statistics, car-buying and insurance tips, and videos. Parents will also find ideas for how to initiate conversations with their teens about driving responsibly – what’s expected after they get their license, when they can drive and the circumstances under which driving privileges would be lost.
