B.R.A.K.E.S.

When NHRA drag racing star Doug Herbert lost his two young sons in a tragic car crash in January of 2008, his grief led to his resolve to create a driving program which would help prevent other families from experiencing similar heartbreak, by teaching young drivers more conscientious and confident skills behind the wheel. In 2008, the first year of B.R.A.K.E.S. (Be Responsible and Keep Everyone Safe), Doug focused on training his sons' friends and 50 teens were trained. The word soon spread, and requests came to Herbert from hundreds of other parents wanting the same type of life saving training for their teen drivers. Because thousands of teenagers lose their lives each year in traffic collisions B.R.A.K.E.S. was created.
