Subaru Promotes Safe Driving in the U.S.

Subaru of America announced that it will become the official training vehicle provider for the Street Safe Driving Academy.

The Academy, with centers in Bryn Mawr ans Blue Bell, is a complete driver training program that trains drivers for the everyday traffic situations, ensuring that they can drive in as safe manner. The organization has developed an innovative program that uses off-duty police officers to coach students and features custom training stages.

"Subaru is proud to support StreetSafe Driving Academy and its mission to create an engaging learning experience to produce safe, smart drivers," said Bill Cyphers, regional vice president, eastern region, Subaru of America, Inc. "As all Subaru models are rated Top Safety Picks by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, it is a natural fit for Subaru to be named official vehicle provider."

StreetSafe’s program delivers private coaching sessions that offer behind-the-wheel instructions using Subaru Legacy vehicles. One of the company’s innovations is the use of triple screen Virtual Driver and Driver Square simulators, which allow students to drive in a virtual world from the actual seat of the vehicle.

"We are delighted to have Subaru as a sponsor and the Subaru Legacy as the official vehicle of StreetSafe Driving Academy," said Meg Kramer, founder of StreetSafe Driving Academy. "We need training vehicles that are equipped with All-Wheel Drive technology, are safe, reliable and fuel efficient. Subaru fits every one of our criteria."

What can we say... Subaru had to make up for all those WRX STI’s that fuel the street racing fire at night. Now the world is just how we like it, a perfectly balanced place.
