The session will begin with Jeff Sawyer who is the first speaker. He is a Lower Makefield resident and a State Farm Insurance agent. Jeff Sawyer has spoken to various school groups on the hazards of drunk driving and other dangerous driving practices.
This would be followed by a healthy discussion with William Hogan who has been appointed as the second speaker. He is the president of the Advantage Driving Academy and also a resident of Lower Makefield. William Hogan hopes to enlighten parents with different ways in which they can encourage their teens to drive safely, along with the use of parent-teen driving contracts.
The Interactive Safe Driving Program will end with the third speaker, Officer Mike Pell of the Lower Makefield Police Department. With him, the teens would get a chance to take part in interactive activities. This would include the Safety Simulator that is provided by the Pennsylvania DUI Association and the State Farm insurance Companies. This will help give them a realistic, hands on driving experience with the real dashboard, the wheel and the seat.
The chairperson of the Citizens Traffic Commission, Ginni Torbert hopes to promote safe driving in the township through this program.
