North Carolina Teen Driver Program

ALLCHOICE Insurance & Erie Insurance Bring You The Lookin' Out Program For Teen Drivers

North Carolina Teen Driver Program, Lookin' Out - What Is It?

Safe Teen Driving: It's what Lookin' Out is all about!

Auto crashes are the number one killer of teens.

Lookin' Out is a safe teen driving awareness program initiated by Erie Insurance (and brought to you locally by ALLCHOICE Insurance) to reduce auto crashes and promote safe driving habits among teens.

Positive peer influence
Lookin' Out is unique because each activity is created by teenagers for their peers. Areas covered include:

Seat belt use
Speeding or reckless behavior
Limiting the number of passengers in the car
Alcohol and drug use, and their effects on driving
Eliminating distractions such as cell phones and loud music

Erie Insurance believes it is our responsibility as a leading auto insurer to actively encourage teens to become safe, responsible drivers. Helping to make teenagers better drivers will make the roads safer for everyone.

Funding
Lookin' Out can provide student groups with up to $2,000 in grant funding to support Lookin' Out activities.

Does Lookin' Out teach students how to drive?
No. Lookin' Out is not a one-day seminar and it is not a classroom curriculum.

Lookin' Out consists of a committee of students that create unique activities to remind their friends about the importance of driving responsibly. Each activity gets the students' attention and sends an effective safe driving message.
