DEPOSIT: Carefully read the following information to make sure you understand our policy.
BRAKES classes are free to all, however, we require a credit card to secure your spot.
At the completion of the class you have the option to request a "do not charge" at the registration table (this must be handled on-site at the end of class), or if you choose, you can leave it as a donation, this allows us to continue our mission of saving lives. A tax donation letter will be emailed to you the following week.
Your card will be charged the Monday after your weekend class.
If you have questions please contact us prior to registering.
NO SHOWS waste valuable charity resources, including the cost of vehicles, professional instructors, and volunteers that B.R.A.K.E.S. assembles for each program to ensure that the experience will exceed all expectations. Worse, NO SHOWS deprive other teens and parents that are waiting for the opportunity to attend the B.R.A.K.E.S. driving experience. If, however, you do not show up for the class, your $99 will be charged.
B.R.A.K.E.S. is a 501(c)3 charity organization. Our mission is to prevent injuries and save lives by training and educating teenage drivers and their parents. 86% of all donated funds go directly to the B.R.A.K.E.S. driving program. Just 6% of funds are used for administration and 8% for fundraising.
What is the Cancellation Policy?
You must cancel no later than 12:00pm noon EST on the Tuesday before the weekend event, otherwise your deposit will be forfeited and your card will be charged.
The teen’s parent or legal guardian is required to attend the school for several reasons. B.R.A.K.E.S. feels it is important for parents to take an active role in their teen’s driver education. By providing parents the opportunity to experience both the classroom and driving portions of the school, we hope you will be able to guide your teen’s driving long after they leave the school. A second reason the teen’s parent or legal guardian must attend, is to sign liability and legal waivers required for your teen to participate in the school.
Yes, your parent or legal guardian must attend even if you are 18 years or older.
Due to the high volume of families that are trying to get into the school, we do not allow teenagers to go through more than once. We want to provide this opportunity to as many teenagers as possible and therefore, try to save the spots for teenagers that have not yet had the opportunity.
Please consider volunteering and we will give you the opportunity to have more time behind the wheel.
You can attend with your friends. However, please know that you will NOT be in the same car together. This is for your own benefit and to get the most out of your training.
Please arrive at least 30 minutes before start time for your class.
Teenagers are expected to wear appropriate attire. Sneakers/tennis shoes (no open-toed shoes)
Dress according to the weather. Classes are held outside in all weather conditions.
Teens MUST bring their driver’s permit or license with them to the school. If you do not have your permit or license, you will not be able to attend the school. As a backup, teens should take a photo of their license with their cell phones.
No, we provide the cars for teens and parents to drive at B.R.A.K.E.S. classes.
Yes, schools are held rain or shine. Be sure to dress accordingly for the weather that day.
No, B.R.A.K.E.S. is an advanced driver training taken after you have received your permit or license. Be sure to check your state’s requirements for obtaining your permit or license.
Discounts vary from state to state and insurance company to insurance company. We cannot guarantee your insurance company will give you a discount for attending the B.R.A.K.E.S. Teen Pro-Active Driver Training. At the end of the school, you will receive a certificate you can present to your insurance agent for their review and determination.
Yes, we are happy to provide a replacement certificate. To request a replacement certificate, please email your request to info@putonthebrakes.org.

If the class attended was completed 30 days or less prior to your request, we will provide you a free replacement certificate copy. If the class taken was more than 30 days prior to the request, there will be a research, replacement and mailing fee of $30. Payment ($30) must be paid via credit card by calling our office (704-720-3806) to process your payment. Regulations require us to verify completion of the B.R.A.K.E.S. program before a replacement certificate can be mailed.

My son and I attended BRAKES at the LA County Fairgrounds on April 26th. Yesterday, he was alone driving home from a high school baseball game approaching an intersection, on a green light about 45 mph. At the very last second, a car turned left in front of him. My son hit the brakes hard, engagi... Click to Read More!
