CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Triple A reports that 60% of American drivers qualify as "unsafe drivers".
And to help protect young drivers on the road, the Corpus Christi Community Council of PTA's is putting on an event centered on being a "safe driver".
It's called the "Coastal Bend Drive Safe Project," a partnership by local PTA's, TxDOT and DPS.
The project will show teens what unsafe driving looks like and simulate its consequences with live demonstrations.
The event starts this Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. in the Carroll High School parking lot.
Entry is free to the public and open to all ages.
