Empowering the next generation of drivers starts with conversations that matter.

Yesterday at @detroitcountryday, Steve Kiefer shared Mitchel’s story and encouraged students to take control of their choices behind the wheel - a perfect reminder during National Teen Driver Safety Week.

With heartfelt thanks to the Miller/Jablonski family, as their generous donation of 10 Just Drive Simulators will give Detroit Country Day students the opportunity to experience firsthand the dangers of distraction and the importance of choosing to Just Drive.

Every story has the power to change lives, and yesterday, our chairman (and more importantly) Mitchel’s dad, Steve Kiefer, shared his family’s story with students at Brother Rice High School - broricewarriors

As part of National Teen Driver Safety Week, students heard Mitchel’s story and experienced firsthand how distraction can lead to tragedy and how choosing to Just Drive can save lives. The school also debuted six new Just Drive Simulators, donated by Brother Rice Alum, Mr. Thomas Campau, giving students a hands-on way to understand the importance of focus and responsibility behind the wheel.

We’re so grateful to Brother Rice for welcoming this important message into their community and to every student who took part in this life-saving conversation. Together, we’re helping teens understand the real consequences of distraction and empowering them to speak up for safety.

This week is National Teen Driver Safety Week.

Teen drivers lack experience behind the wheel, which makes your role as a parent even more important. Talk with your teen about safe, distraction-free driving, set the right example with your own habits, and make time to practice together.
