“Safety in Mobility” event at Central Hardin High School in Cecilia, KY,

In July, the Ford DSFL team piloted a smaller “Safety in Mobility” event at Central Hardin High School in Cecilia, KY, that promoted safe interactions between drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. 



Teens learned about vulnerable road users and experienced the “Dutch reach” technique to avoid cyclists and pedestrians when opening doors in busy, urban areas. Electric scooter safety was also taught through an interactive course, and the teens also got behind the wheel for the distracted and impaired driving course.
