More than 190 teens gained valuable knowledge behind the wheel during four sold-out sessions of the “Mopar Road Ready” program, when it made its third 2015 stop on May 2–3 at Mopar World Headquarters in Center Line, Michigan.
The program, sponsored by the FCA Foundation and supported by Mopar, is designed to teach teens safe and defensive driving techniques. Metro Detroit “Mopar Road Ready” sessions filled up a week prior to the event, with a 200-plus wait list of teens and parents vying for open slots. Including stops earlier this year at Pomona, California, and Gainesville, Florida, more than 700 drivers — both teens and parents — have been educated and trained through the “Mopar Road Ready” program.
“We are extremely pleased by the overwhelming community participation,” said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO – Mopar Brand Service, Parts and Customer Care, FCA. “Car accidents are the number one cause of death among teenagers, and this program provides young drivers — and parents — the chance to learn hands-on, highly valuable skills behind the wheel that can hopefully help them avoid an accident or even save their lives.”
