SetFord Good Drivers League
- 19 Artifacts
Ford Motor Company created the Good Drivers League in 1940. Headed by Edsel Ford, the League promoted safe driving habits among high school students through state and national championships. Though America's entry into World War II ended the program, the League impacted the driving habits of more than 200,000 teens. Inspired by the League's success, other community and safety organizations would institute driver safety contests after the war.
SetDriver Education
- 21 Artifacts
Early driver education in the United States was loose and inconsistent. New drivers might learn from a car dealership, or from a civic organization like the YMCA. In the 1930s, driver education became a standard part of public high school instruction. Courses involved a blend of study behind the desk and practice behind the wheel. By the early 2000s, school budget concerns had shifted driver education back into the private sector.
