Educating and empowering students to make safe decisions behind the wheel is the goal. When achieved, the staggering rate of crashes and deaths on Tennessee roadways reduce.”

That is why we team up with organizations in Tennessee such as SADD who are also committed to preventing motor vehicle crashes.”
