2. About Us
When NHRA drag racing star Doug Herbert lost his two
young sons, Jon and James, in a tragic highway collision in
January of 2008, his grief led to his resolve to create a
driving program which would help to prevent other families
from experiencing similar heartbreak by teaching young
drivers more conscientious and confident skills behind the
wheel. Herbert wasted no time in putting his mission into
motion. That same year, he created B.R.A.K.E.S. (Be
Responsible and Keep Everyone Safe), a 501(c)3
organization which provides free advanced driver’s
education in a program entitled the Teen Pro-Active Driving
Curriculum.

3. Driver Training
The B.R.A.K.E.S. Teen Pro-Active Driver Training is a free,
advanced driving school, for teenagers 15-19 (16-20 in
N.C.),who have a learner’s permit or driver’s license with at
least 30 hours of driving experience. B.R.A.K.E.S. teaches
teens defensive driving techniques on a closed curriculum
in a controlled environment. Our high caliber instructors
educate teens and their parents through both classroom
and hands-on instruction. A low 3:1 student to instructor
ratio allows us to spend quality time with each teen. The
day begins with a brief review of some basic driving topics
including; proper seating position, hand positioning, and
basic vehicle dynamics.
