关于我们
Car crashes are among the leading causes of teen deaths in the United States. B.R.A.K.E.S. (Be Responsible And Keep Everyone Safe) is a free program that is focused on reducing the rates of teen fatalities resulting from car crashes. Founded in 2008. Doug Herbert’s B.R.A.K.E.S. (Be Responsible and Keep Everyone Safe) is a GuideStar Platinum-rated 501(c)3 non-profit whose mission is to prevent injuries and save lives by training and educating teenage drivers and their parents about the importance of safe and responsible driving. B.R.A.K.E.S. was founded in 2008 after Top Fuel drag racer Doug Herbert lost his two young sons, Jon and James, in a tragic car crash. Today, more than 110,000 teens and their parents have graduated from the B.R.A.K.E.S.’ intensive training course, which is free of charge and features hands-on skills exercises taught by professional instructors in a fleet of new vehicles donated by Kia Motors America. B.R.A.K.E.S. offers teens extensive behind-the-wheel instruction from professional trainers including current and former law enforcement officers and professional racing drivers, teaching the teens and their parents how to be safer on the road. Exercises include Distracted Driving Awareness, Panic Braking, Crash Avoidance, Drop-wheel/Off-road Recovery and Car Control/Skid Recovery. The results are truly impactful: Teens who graduate from B.R.A.K.E.S. are 64 percent less likely to be in a crash in their first three years of driving, according to an independent study.

We’re proud to share these wonderful words from one of our Topeka parents, whose son completed B.R.A.K.E.S. training this past weekend: “We are so impressed after attending B.R.A.K.E.S.! “I highly recommend having your 15+ year old go through this course. The instructors were incredible, really engaged the kids and made it fun for everyone. “I love the fact that they take the time to educate and prepare parents just as much as they do the kids.?They build confidence in the kids by trusting them to take things into their own hands behind the wheel. “Defensive driving is something I wish we would have when we were learning how to drive. Prepare them well and do them a favor. You'll really like it!!! “B.R.A.K.E.S. travels all over the US, so find out if they are heading your way! It's worth the drive!
