PRE-SAFE Advantages
  • Prior to an accident there is significantly more
    time to activate protection systems than during
    an impact
  • Better positioning of occupants prior to an
    impact
  • Preventive reaction is a natural kind of
    protection

Safety Education--Road Ready Teens
  • Launched in 2003
  • A partnership with AAA, NSC, MADD
  • With input from IIHS, NHTSA and the NTSB
  • A home-based program designed to raise awareness
    and help parents protect drivers
    most-at-riskteens
  • Provides young drivers and their parents the tips
    and tools to safely ease into driving

13
Road Ready Teens --Target Audience
  • Parents of teens 14 to 17
  • Teens 14 to 17 years old

14
Road Ready Teens Science Based
  • Road Ready Teens is based on the principles of
    Graduated Driver Licensing laws
  • RRT reinforces guidelines that are proven to
    reduce the crash risk by 33 among teen drivers
  • Zero tolerance for alcohol
  • Mandatory seat belt use
  • Restricting night-time driving
  • Restricting teen passengers

15
Road Ready Teens Research Driven
  • Focus Group Key findings
  • Teens are more willing to accept restrictions if
    they understand risk
  • Teens prefer interactive online and gaming
    solutions

16
Road Ready Teens --Parents Guide
  • Offering parents proven recommendations to keep
    their teens safe. Developed with the guidance of
    safety experts.

Road Ready Teens --StreetWise
  • Developed by WildTangent, StreetWise is designed
    to raise awareness of risk, help teens understand
    why distractions are so deadly and why
    restrictions are so important.

Road Ready Teens Research Proven
  • StreetWise Beta-testing, University of Michigan
  • All participants reported that StreetWise helped
    them better understand driving risks
  • 61 were more likely to take steps to protect
    themselves from driving risks after playing
    StreetWise
