Since 2003, Ford Driving Skills for Life program has implemented the importance of "hands on the wheel, eyes on the road" when driving. As times have changed, Ford found it necessary to constantly add content to the program based on the latest trends that new drivers would face. One of the newest additions to the program is the danger of "driving selfies". The hazardous trend of taking a self-portrait while driving has grown so rapidly that Ford has created a special segment demonstrating to drivers the distractions associated with taking a driving selfie.
To address impaired driving concerns, Ford Driving Skills for Life has added a "drunk driving" suit to the program. Currently, goggles are used to show the disorientation that alcohol causes, but now the suit will demonstrate how alcohol impairs the driver physically by weighing down the student's arms and legs. The drunk driving suit throws off balance and demonstrates how reflexes and movements are impaired for a driver under the influence.
Ford Driving Skills for Life is continuing to grow, helping new/teen drivers in more than 15 countries around the world. Ford hopes sharing this knowledge with the next generation will encourage safe driving choices.
