Kevin Donates Time Instructing with B.R.A.K.E.S. Teen Pro-Active Driving School

Twice in the first quarter of 2011, Kevin York returned to the safe and controlled environs of a vehicle dynamic area to educate young drivers in the nuances of vehicle control.

On 19 February and 26 March 2011, Kevin joined other professional driving instructors in guiding over one-hundred-forty drivers through the B.R.A.K.E.S. Teen Pro-Active Driving School - a 501(c)(3), safe driving charity, founded by NHRA Top Fuel drag racer Doug Herbert.

In his years of instructing, Kevin has worked with many types of drivers - from racing car drivers to newly-licensed teens.

"Perhaps no greater satisfaction can be attained by offering insights to skills and mindsets that may one day, be lifesaving.

The intent - and indeed execution - will be to instill in the students a sense of control they can have over a motor vehicle - and themselves.

With an emphasis on awareness and vehicle control derived from experiential training, the B.R.A.K.E.S. program aligns greatly with my beliefs.

I am well-pleased that they've asked me to join them." noted Kevin.

The B.R.A.K.E.S. Teen Pro-Active Driving School gives young drivers the dynamic experience of handling a vehicle in adverse driving conditions in a controlled environment. Professional driving instructors educate students on the proper way to handle skids, panic stops, accident avoidance and driving with distractions. Since the driving school began in 2008, B.R.A.K.E.S. has provided hands-on training to nearly 2,000 teens from 14 different states. For more information, see: www.putonthebrakes.org
