"We've got a lot of traffic safety partners out here. We're teaching teen drivers safe skills for the road and it's just been amazing to see hundreds of teen drivers come out and learn new skills that they can take and they'll save their life,"

The event featured interactive workshops that gave participants the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities such as controlled braking, evasive maneuvering, impaired driving simulation, and blind spot recognition.
