Fredericksburg, VA — As distracted driving continues to be one of the leading causes of accidents on American roads, 2020 Driving School is taking action to educate new and experienced drivers alike about the dangers of distraction behind the wheel. Through enhanced curriculum, interactive training, and community outreach, the school’s mission is to reduce crashes and save lives—starting with stronger drivers ed in Virginia.
According to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), over 20,000 crashes in the state each year are linked to distracted driving. Texting, eating, talking to passengers, and adjusting navigation devices all contribute to this dangerous behavior. The problem is especially severe among teens and new drivers, who often lack the experience to multitask safely on the road.
Enhanced Drivers Ed with a Focus on Focus
2020 Driving School’s curriculum has been updated to directly address the realities of distracted driving. From in-class discussions to behind-the-wheel coaching, students are trained to recognize and eliminate risky behaviors. Lessons now include:
-
Real-world case studies of distracted driving crashes
-
Safe alternatives to phone use in vehicles
-
Tips for managing passengers and minimizing in-car distractions
-
Defensive driving strategies to avoid distracted drivers on the road
Students enrolled in drivers ed in Virginia through 2020 Driving School are not just learning how to pass the DMV test—they’re being prepared to make smart decisions every time they get behind the wheel.
Reaching More Than Just Teen Drivers
While much of drivers ed is focused on teenagers, 2020 Driving School’s anti-distraction initiatives are also available to adult learners, commercial driver trainees, and even experienced drivers taking refresher courses.
The school works closely with parents, local schools, and DMV partners to host seminars and workshops on the dangers of distracted driving. These programs are part of a broader effort to build a safety-first driving culture across Virginia.
