Most 20-year-olds would have their licenses stripped if they were caught driving a used Ford<\/a> F-150 in New York at speeds of more than 100 miles per hour, or worse.<\/p>\n

But Colin Braun drives specially-designed versions of the truck on racetracks that host the Nascar Truck Series, and he wants to bring his experience and youth to the Ford Driving Skills for Life program.<\/p>\n

The initiative is designed to reduce the number of traffic fatalities caused by teen drivers, which is currently about three times the rate of other motorists by instruction in handling, recognizing hazards and space management.<\/p>\n
