Teen/Parent Driving Seminar

 

You and your teens are invited to a FREE informative and interactive presentation about the growing epidemic of "distracted driving." Every day, thousands of teens and adults are involved in preventable crashes with deadly results.  The Foundation is proud to partner with DCH Tustin Acura to present a frank discussion about how teens and parents can face these challenges openly and honestly.

 

In addition, gain important tips and learn from several insurance providers about good driver and good student discounts on your auto insurance and learn how to create and build financial credit for young adults ready to take on college, car, new job, and future financial responsibilities.

 

Attending this seminar can qualify teens for insurance discounts.
