Madison program helps teens improve driving

Marv Balousek:

hen a car in front of him stopped suddenly, J.R. Acker, 17, of Madison slammed on the brakes of his GMC Envoy.

He stopped in time, but the red light on a camera mounted on his rearview mirror began flashing. He knew he'd have to explain the sudden stop to his mother, Sara, when she received an e-mail about the incident the following day.

A junior at Edgewood High School, J.R. is among about 3,000 young drivers participating in the Teen Safe Driver Program offered by Madison-based American Family Insurance.
