Bridgestone sponsors safe driving program

March 25, 2009

Bridgestone Retail Operations LLC's company-owned Firestone Complete Auto Care chain has renewed its partnership with Driver's Edge, which provides free defensive driving courses for young drivers.

Driver's Edge programs are held on select weekends throughout the year. Each session educates 80 to 100 drivers between the ages of 15 and 21, free of charge.

Subjects covered include basic car maintenance, lane changes, anti-lock braking skills and others.

"We're proud to continue our national partnership with Driver's Edge," says Vickie Condell, director of public affairs at Bridgestone Retail Operations.
