Community Crash Prevention Visits

In Control’s Community Visit Program is very happy to partner with Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey. First offered in Massachusetts in 2015, In Control received grant funding from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration through the Massachusetts Office of Public Safety and Security (EOPSS).

Continuing on its past success, In Control has now partnered with Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey. Through this collaboration, thousands of Norfolk County high school teens and experienced drivers will complete this training course in fiscal year 2026. This collaboration will educate young drivers about driving safely and will drastically reduce automobile crashes, fatalities, and injuries on Norfolk County and Commonwealth of Massachusetts roadways.

Funding for this collaboration is provided by EOPSS to support the FFY26 Saving Young Lives.

These community visits feature ride-along demonstrations led by state-certified In Control instructors. Passengers are taken through a series of controlled driving drills that replicate how a vehicle responds at different speeds and in realistic emergency situations. During the experience, participants learn:

• Why seat belt use is essential (Massachusetts ranks near the bottom nationally for seat belt compliance)

• How even small increases in speed dramatically reduce control and stopping ability

• The importance of staying fully engaged behind the wheel

• The risks associated with impaired driving, including alcohol, drugs, and drowsiness

Because our trained instructors remain in the driver’s seat at all times, these demonstrations can be safely delivered in parking lots or on temporarily closed public streets. Click here to see some of the past results.

Community Visits funded by this grant should be completed before the end of the 2025/26 school year. For more information or to schedule your visit, contact Dan@iDriveInControl.org today!
