Car crashes are the #1 cause
of death among teenagers? DCH Auto Group's new and used car dealerships
in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and California are working to
change that. DCH Auto Group's dealerships are committed
to protecting young drivers stay safe. DCH Teen Safe Driving Program is
a DCH exclusive, long term,

teen-focused, driving-safety community outreach program and marketing
campaign to keep, what we call "it"
-as in, mindless driving-out of our
teenagers' cars. This means not driving distracted, driving recklessly,
or driving under the influence, to name a few. DCH Auto Group believes
in doing more than selling
new and
pre-owned cars, and we've made this program a priority.
The
goal of DCH's Teen Safe Driving Program is to raise awareness through
education, action, and advocacy. Individual programs sponsored by DCH Auto Group Temecula are designed to raise awareness in our community. Our
goal is to educate teens about smart decisions and safe driving and
provide parents with the tools they need to set the standards with their
teenage drivers.
The cornerstone of our program is our affiliation with
Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD).
DCH Auto Group is the exclusive automotive dealer sponsor of SADD in
New Jersey, southern New York, Fairfield, Connecticut, and southern
California, and has agreed to help launch SADD chapters in local area
schools. Our goal is to help these schools develop successful,
sustainable chapters, and to raise awareness about important behavioral
decisions when behind the wheel of a car. Through this agreement, DCH
Auto Group provides both financial support and support from its
employees.
Schools can always opt to establish a SADD chapter
without formal corporate help or sponsorship. SADD simply requires that
the school register their chapter with the SADD national office.
Registration provides access to the SADD network but the chapter's
progress is self-guided. Our program is different because the goal is
to give schools the tools necessary to establish successful and
sustainable chapters.
Through our involvements with organizations such as
SADD,
National Organizations for Youth Safety (NOYS), and the
National Safety Council on Teen Driving,
DCH employees work with students to raise awareness among their peers
about the need to make smart decisions. In working with these
organizations, we focus on distracted driving, the importance of the
graduated driver license, and the significance of parents playing an
active part in their child's driver education. DCH Auto Group Temecula
sponsors events, activities and opportunities for learning with the
ultimate goal of reducing crash related tragedies.
