​About Us

The Parents’ Coalition to Stop Teen Driving Deaths  NOW! is a non-profit 501c3 organization, which was founded by Robert Ragazzo.

​Bob is a certified Defensive Driving Instructor, founder of  two Driver Training companies and trains thousands of drivers each year, both experienced and inexperienced.

He has authored dozens of articles on Driver Training and several eBooks including
“The Parent’s Driver Training Blueprint – a Step-by-Step Guide to Keeping Your Teenage Driver Alive”
         
Bob has been featured on Network News shows from Florida to California, and is a regular guest Driving Expert on radio stations all across the U.S. and Canada.

As he is quick to point out, however; his most important role is that of a proud Father.  His 2 sons, Nick and Patrick, are now fine young men (and well-trained drivers.)
​
​The Parents’ Coalition was founded to raise awareness about 1 of the 2 biggest threats to our kids – the motor vehicle crash!

Our Mission is to fundamentally change the way young drivers are trained and to eliminate Distracted Driving by teaching "The 5 Essential Actions for Safe Driving" and the Mental Aspects of Driving which are responsible for 9 out of 10 crashes

We believe that NO PARENT should ever have to endure the unimaginable horror of losing their child to a car crash. The hopeful news is that since 9 out of 10 crashes are caused by mental error - they are 100% Preventable.
​
Imagine ELIMINATING 200,000 Teen Driving crashes each year – just in the U.S.!!!
This would also ELIMINATE over 80,000 crash-related injuries which would SAVE a projected 750 Young Lives each and every year until the NEW NORMAL becomes ZERO Young Lives Lost to preventable crashes!
