Real Skills.
Safer Teens.
A free, hands-on driving safety program from the injury attorneys at Rue & Ziffra, putting new drivers behind the wheel of real emergency scenarios before the road does.
Serving teen drivers and families across Volusia & Flagler Counties.
1 in 5
first-year drivers
will be involved in a traffic crash within their first year behind the wheel.
Inexperience and distraction are the two biggest reasons — and they're exactly what this program is built to fix, in a controlled environment where mistakes cost nothing.
The Program
Two skills that save lives
We don't lecture teens about safety — we let them feel it. Every participant works through two core experiences designed around the situations that cause the most first-year crashes.
01
Emergency Response Training
Behind the wheel on a closed course, teens practice the split-second maneuvers that panic causes them to get wrong.
Emergency lane changes at speed
Controlled hard braking & threshold stops
Recovering safely from a spin-out
02
The Distracted-Driving Simulator
Our simulator proves what no warning ever could: teens try to text and drive, and watch their own reaction time fall apart in real time.
Feel how one glance steals the road
See reaction time drop against hazards
A lesson that sticks long after they leave

Student Voices
Straight from the drivers
The teens who've been through it say it better than we ever could.
-
It's wild , it feels like you're really on the road and about to get into an accident. I learned that even a second of looking away is too long.
-
Today I learned how to emergency lane-switch safely, and how to stop the vehicle if I spin out. This was amazing!
-
Now that I've practiced, if I ever face something like that on the real road, I'll know exactly what to do. It feels awesome.
