     The mission of B.R.A.K.E.S. is to prevent injuries and save lives by training and educating teenage drivers and their parents about the importance of safe and responsible driving.

     This driving school puts teenagers, and their parents, behind-the-wheel to provide hands-on training that teaches skills that will help prevent an accident. Register now!

How long in existence? Since 2008.

Why form this organization? To teach safe driving, create awareness and help prevent others parents, friends and families from enduring the pain of losing a loved one to an automobile accident.

What are people saying about this program? “We lose far too many teenagers on our highways each year, not just in North Carolina but nationwide.  Anytime that you can put a teenager behind the wheel and give them hands-on experience of corrective driving and defensive driving it will help them in their everyday driving.”

What do parents think about B.R.A.K.E.S? "The more you can experience real world driving in a safe setting, the better off you’re going to be on the road, and everybody will be safer.”
