Teach your teen to drive in a Toyota, and you will eventually have to let him or her take the wheel and drive around Thomasville alone. Hopefully, by the time your child gets a license, you will have taught him or her proper driving habits, including how to avoid distractions. You no longer have to do this alone; Toyota’s TeenDrive 365 program is here to help your teen become interested in safe driving and provide both of you with helpful information and advice.
Driving Simulators
As part of the TeenDrive 365 program, Toyota brings driving simulators to various auto shows and events across the country. You can find a list of the events online. The simulator does more than the ones your teen uses in a driver’s education course. These simulators actually show what will happen if he or she practices in distracted driving. To achieve this goal, the simulators add common distractions, like talking on the phone, changing the music, talking to passengers, and applying makeup, to the basic steering found on traditional simulators. When your teen engages in any of these distracted driving actions, he or she will crash almost immediately, showing the severity of these actions.
Video Competition
If your teen driver has artistic talent or simply enjoys making movies, then he or she may be interested in the TeenDrive 365 Video Challenge. This annual competition has teens create videos emphasizing the importance of safety while driving and particular challenges faced by teens. Entries close on March 7; in addition to $15,000, the winner gets to reshoot the video as a TV-ready PSA with a professional film crew.
