Car crashes are the #1
cause of death among teenagers - DCH Auto Group's new and used car
dealerships are working to change that.
Car crashes-the #1 killer of teens-take about 3,000 young lives every year. That's 8 teen deaths each day that can be prevented.
DCH Auto Group's dealerships are committed to helping 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 our
dealerships are designed to raise awareness in the community. Our
approach 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.
Through our involvements with organizations such as Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), the 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 dealerships sponsor
events, activities and opportunities for learning with the ultimate goal
of reducing crash related tragedies.
