A grant from the GEICO Philanthropic Foundation will help students at eight Florida high schools practice safe driving techniques through the use of driving simulators.
Each school participating in the program will receive a "peddle car" simulator to be used as a teaching tool for parallel parking and impaired driving awareness. These simulators will primarily be used at safety fairs in conjunction with "drunk goggles" to illustrate the impairment drinking can have on drivers. Young drivers will be able to test their driving skills when they get behind the wheel of the simulator and learn about the destructive possibilities of driving impaired.
The GEICO Philanthropic Foundation's grant to the Florida Safety Council is helping fund the state's driver's education program. GEICO's regional vice president, George Rogers, explained, "This grant will help improve driver's education initiatives throughout Florida. GEICO is focused on improving teen safe driving and giving teens the knowledge that is needed when learning to drive."
