Car crashes are the NUMBER ONE cause of death among teens, and a few race car drivers and police officers are trying to prevent that from happening! The amazing B.R.A.K.E.S. program is coming to the Kansas City area in October. It combines lessons and fun, allowing teens 15-20 who have a permit or license to get hands-on practice on a track with a trainer. Each teen gets to practice five different collision prevention techniques. The sign-up fee can be refunded after the lesson if paid by check, and some insurance companies may give you a discount if you turn in your lesson certificate. Check out their website at putonthebrakes.org/home or stop by the library's Teen Scene to pick up a brochure. Safe driving!
