Nationwide Insurance Launches SmartRide Program for Teens and Parents
COLUMBUS, Ohio (Business Wire EON) May 5, 2008 -- Developed in association with the National Safety Council, SmartRide(SM) is an online learning and coaching program designed to better prepare teen drivers for the road ahead. Participants completing the program could also save up to five percent on their teen's auto insurance in areas where applicable.
"Teen drivers are disproportionately involved in car accidents in the United States," said Bill Windsor, associate vice president of safety at Nationwide. "Nationwide SmartRide(SM) offers families extraordinary access to information and tools that will help young drivers become smart drivers."
Nationwide SmartRide(SM) has three main components:
-- Nationwidesmartride.com
This website is a free, one-stop resource featuring sections
for both parents and teens with separate content tailored to
each audience. It is available free to anyone regardless of
whether they are a Nationwide customer.
It offers parents extraordinary access to information and
tools that will help them as they guide their children to
become smart drivers. It provides teens with practical
techniques and driving tips to help them develop and practice
good driving habits, particularly as they relate to the top
causes of teen crashes.
-- SmartRide(SM) Learning Sessions & Tests
Nationwide customers can access additional content through
SmartRide(SM) Learning Sessions & Tests. The sessions are
interactive, narrated tutorials that address key driving tips
and behaviors, focusing specifically on the top causes of teen
crashes and violations.
With SmartRide(SM) Learning Sessions & Tests, teens learn
driving tips such as how to be more aware of their
surroundings while driving, driving at night and in bad
weather, and how to deal with distractions such as friends,
phones and music. The knowledge acquired in these sessions is
then evaluated through six online certification tests.
SmartRide(SM) also asks parents to participate in 75 hours of
in-car driving with their teen to help reinforce the valuable
lessons learned online. When the tests and in-car driving
hours have been completed, the teen will be "SmartRide(SM)
certified."
-- SmartRide(SM) Discount
To recognize the efforts of teens and parents, Nationwide will
offer a discount that will apply to the teen's premium once
they have been SmartRide(SM) certified.
The discount saves young drivers up to five percent and is
applicable up through age 24. The SmartRide(SM) discount is
already available in Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Washington
D.C., Delaware and Maryland.
The importance of smart driving knowledge is significant. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, automobile crashes are the leading cause of death among American teens.
"At Nationwide, we are committed to ensuring roadway safety for all drivers," said Windsor. "To save the lives of young people and protect others on the road, we must equip young drivers with the knowledge necessary to reduce the risks that lead to accidents."
