Vision
To experience a new driving culture mindset within the U.S. that places more value on teaching skills for protecting the life of the driver rather than the ease of licensure acquisition and safety systems of the vehicles they drive.
Mission
To expand the scope of teenage driver research to focus on the beliefs and skill deficiencies that contribute to their risk for crashing and use those findings in the development, creation and implementation of resources for producing Higher Standards at the grassroots education and training levels.
The Value of Education
Everything we do in life is built around educating ourselves on the activity, the requirements, the principles and the rules that will guide us safely through the process.
Whether its selecting the classes we need, the career we wish to pursue or the purpose we hope to achieve in life, without proper education and training, our destination will elude us.
Sadly, when it comes to our preparation for becoming good safe drivers, our “learning to drive” process doesn’t adequately educate novice drivers for what is statistically proven to be the most dangerous activity they’ll ever engage in. Worse yet, the standards for training and ultimate licensure are so minimal, novice drivers are set up to fail. Our system teaches us to believe that the most valuable element in the learning to drive process is gaining experience and unfortunately, that means novice drivers are forced to take exams for the lessons they’ve not yet learned and all too often, those lessons become fatality statistics.
