Toyota Prius to Teach Kids to Drive
*** DON’T FORGET THE “NAMING THE CAR OF TOMORROW” CONTEST ***
Introducing people to better practices when they are young is a very effective way of helping them making better choices as adults. I’m so happy to hear that school districts are taking this approach to eco-friendly driving. Using revenue derived from a traffic ticket initiative, Leon County school leaders purchased a fleet of Toyota Prius hybrids for their new driver’s education program.
Not only does driving a hybrid mean fewer gas bills and less pollution for the area, but instructors will be able to use the advanced technology in the Prius to demonstrate how safer driving techniques lead to better fuel efficiency.
Hey, that’s pretty cool. I’ll have to link this – it’s actually perfect for something I’m working on. Such a great idea.
