Driving Kids To Be Smart And Stay Safe

(NAPSI)—An ingenious system for driving young people toward hands-on learning and critical thinking skills has hit the road running.

Helping Students

To empower students nationwide to use safe driving skills as a roadmap to become responsible decision-makers and changemakers, Honda and Discovery Education created the Honda Safety Driven initiative. It immerses students in exciting careers and innovative STEM solutions in the automotive industry that are helping to power a safer future.

The standards-aligned content includes a new two-part video series titled Honda Safety in Action: From Racetrack to Roadway—It Takes All of Us, demonstrating how racing at high speeds should inspire real-world safe riding and driving habits.

The first part focuses on two-wheel vehicle safety, including bikes, e-bikes, scooters, and motorcycles, with Jett Lawrence, who won the 2025 AMA Pro Motocross 450 Class championship, his second, and his brother Hunter, the 2025 runner-up.

Part two of the series explores four-wheel vehicle safety with 6-time IndyCar Series Driver’s Champion #V, along with Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) engineers.

Together, the videos are a new way to interest and engage with students by translating elite racing insights into practical, everyday safety tips. The series also features accompanying standards-aligned classroom activities, educator resources, and at-home materials.

Launched to help address the nearly one-third of annual traffic fatalities in the U.S. involving drivers under the age of 25, the initiative uses real-world applications and practices of STEM, aiming to empower students to use safe driving skills as a roadmap to become responsible decision-makers. It’s just part of Discovery Education’s roster of essential PreK-12 learning solutions that empower teachers with essential edtech solutions to inspire curiosity, build confidence, and accelerate learning.

To advance safety initiatives in the community, Honda and the Honda USA Foundation have also contributed more than $8 million to nonprofit organizations and schools supporting programs that promote safe driving practices, awareness and education both on and off the road. These programs include education, training, and resources that supplement or go beyond traditional driver training courses or mandated state driver programs.

Helping Safety

Honda is committed to further advancing safety for everyone sharing the road, which is captured in the Honda global safety slogan “Safety for Everyone.” To achieve this, it’s expanding beyond advanced safety and driver assistive technologies, to include efforts to augment safety awareness to modify driver behavior by working with government, industry and community partners.

Advanced passive safety features include the proprietary Honda Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure and next-generation driver and passenger front airbag technology, which are designed to provide a high level of collision protection for occupants. Advanced active safety and driver-assistive systems in Honda Sensing and AcuraWatch technologies are designed to reduce the frequency and severity of collisions.
