Who Founded Celebrate My Drive?
State Farm, the insurance company, founded Celebrate My Drive in 2012 to promote safe driving for teens.
When Does It Start?
Celebrate My Drive begins October 15th (the first day of National Teen Driver Safety Week) and runs through October 24th.
What is the Purpose of Celebrate My Drive?
To raise awareness about the dangers that come with teenage drivers, they want the community to understand that more teens die from car accidents than any other cause. State Farm believes that by celebrating safe driving they can open teen’s eyes to the harsh reality of unsafe driving. Workers at State Farm want teenagers to understand that accidents can be prevented, which led to the saying “2N2” which means 2 eyes on the road and 2 hands on the wheel.
