There are numerous ways to help B.R.A.K.E.S. educate teens on the importance of safe and responsible driving. Individuals, small groups, and corporations may help B.R.A.K.E.S. by volunteering their time, money, and/or resources. B.R.A.K.E.S. accepts both monetary and in-kind contributions.
With over 5,000 teens a year dying in automobile accidents, advocacy for safe and responsible driving, is a great way to get involved. B.R.A.K.E.S. works closely with the local and state police, government officials, and insurance agencies. By speaking about B.R.A.K.E.S. to law makers and insurance companies you can help in the fight to save teen lives.
"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, engaging the abs, and steered away from the car as he stayed hard in the brakes, narrowly avoiding a collision. He attributed his reaction and collision avoidance to everything he learned at BRAKES. He described how, during the incident, he had anticipated the other driver turning in front of him and he knew the ABS engaged because of the feel and knew to stay on them as he steered away. The scenario was virtually identical to what he experienced at the school. Your school paid for itself 1000 times over last night. Thank you so much. "

"Just want to drop a note of thanks to KKW for being a part of the driving school. Working in the transportation industry it is my hope that my son is not going to be one of those that cuts off trucks on the road or even worse is in an accident with a truck because of his ignorance of what the truck driver is going through. Thank you for putting your trucks in a program that allows our youth to take a moment to see it from the truck drivers point of view and allowing the drivers to talk with my son and others about highway safety."
