Subaru becomes sponsor of StreetSafe Driving Academy

"Subaru has added safe driving to its growing list of good works."



The automaker has just announced it will be the official vehicle provider for StreetSafe Driving Academy , a driving school utilizes off-duty police officers to instruct drivers through custom programs.

"Subaru is proud to support StreetSafe Driving Academy and its mission to create an engaging learning experience to produce safe, smart drivers," states 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 too be named official vehicle provider."

The Academy, which has schools in Bryn Mawr and Blue Bell, PA, also uses state-of-the art triple screen Virtual Driver simulators or the Drive Square simulators as well as regular vehicles. Such systems allow students to drive in a safe environment while becoming comfortable with actual vehicle controls.
