Safe Driving Mission
An American rite-of-passage is the safe handling of an automobile. As Americans, we use motor vehicle transportation to go to the store, visit our friends or relatives, and most commonly commuting to work. The proper use of an automobile is a big aspect of our collective American heritage.
As a consequence, there are many drivers on American roads. The freedom to drive means responsibility, and driving an automobile safely is a critical part of a good driving experience. Responsible drivers are safe drivers.
“We reach our students at their level. We meet them at whatever level they need to make them a safe driver behind the wheel.”
— Ricky Fugate
