ªThe overwhelming majority (75%) of serious teen driver crashes are due to "critical errors," with the three common errors accounting for nearly half of these crashes: lack of scanning that is needed to detect and respond to hazards, going too fast for road conditions, and being distracted by something inside or outside of the vehicle.
¹ “….as we drove through a green light an oncoming auto decided to go left directly in front of us without warning. I barely had time to gasp never mind tell my son to hit the brakes. I know for sure he immediately hit the brakes, hard, only because he had just completed the driver training. He knew it, too. He said he was back in the course when it happened and knew what he had to do, brake hard first, then steer….We avoided a major fender bender and we owe it all to the excellent hands-on training.” ~ Denise Burlington, MA
² The risk of motor vehicle crashes is higher among 16-19-year-olds than among any other age group. Per mile driven, teen drivers ages 16 to 19 are nearly three times more likely than drivers aged 20 and older to be in a fatal crash. CDC Transportation Safety Report
³ Anything that takes your attention away from driving can be a distraction. Sending a text message, talking on a cell phone, using a navigation system, and eating while driving are a few examples of distracted driving. Any of these distractions can endanger you, your passengers, and others on the road.
Since 2003 In Control has trained nearly 40,000 students, saving the lives of passengers and drivers who now know how to react in emergency situations.
More teens and young adults die in violent auto collisions each year in the United States than the number two through five causes of death combined. As a means to address this sobering statistic, In Control has modeled our training after mandatory new driver training programs of the safest driving countries in the world; we provide a hands-on learning experience where drivers are put through real-world, emergency situations on a closed course.
In Control’s Crash Prevention Training is the first state certified program of its kind in the entire United States. Trainees develop skills and build instinctual reactions to make the right decisions in high-speed collision avoidance situations. We work with the insurance industry, law enforcement, public and private organizations as well as key individuals to engage the community and to motivate others to attend our training.
The results speak for themselves: according to independent studies, our program has reduced crash rates in first-year drivers by 70%. Beyond the statistics, we constantly receive testimonials like the one above from course graduates and parents about crashes that have been avoided as a result of skills developed in our training.
