StreetSafe Driving Academy Expands to Collingswood Area

Thanks to a new location in Haddonfield, StreetSafe Driving Academy has expanded driving school services to include the Collingswood area.

Backed by Subaru, StreetSafe's revolutionary take on traditional driving school services have students using training vehicles—in the form of brand new, 2011 Top Safety Pick Subaru models.

"Subaru is proud to be the officials vehicle of StreetSafe Driving Academy," said Subaru of America, Inc. Senior Vice President of Sales Bill Cyphers. “With Subaru’s emphasis on safety, it is a natural fit for us to partner with StreetSafe in our shared mission of safe driving.”

And StreetSafe teachers are top picks, as well. All driving instructors are off-duty police officers from around the state—the academy's founding members.

State law mandates that teens must spend at least six hours time training behind the wheel, and experience practicing on highways, traffic circles, in construction zones and at night before they can obtain a driver's permit.

"StreetSafe partners with teens and their parents to ensure that they fully understand the risks associated with driving, the proven principles of Graduated Driver Licence (GDL) and the critical importance of developing skills—not just during the permit phase—but long after a teen is fully licensed," said Pam Fischer, chair of New Jersey's Teen Driver Study Commission.

And thanks to StreetSafe's new location, at 9 Tanner St. in Haddonfield, Collingswood's youth can now take advantage of the program.

StreetSafe's ultimate goal? To teach today's youngsters how to be safe drivers for life.
