Street survival
My connection with this foundation is that it assist people with driving skills and makes them think of what to do every time. For me I think about everything when I am driving. I’m constantly checking speed, mirrors and location.
With this foundation it improves these skill and will make everyone a think critically about driving each time we’re on the road. It will make those skills second nature and they will do it when ever they drive.
