Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council - Know Your Ride

Know Your Ride

OMVIC launched Know Your Ride, a secondary school program that teaches high school students in Ontario about the dangers of buying vehicles privately, in 2007. The program was developed with input from educators and was designed to be an integral component of the Grade 10 Civics curriculum. The program consists of a DVD for use in classrooms and is supported by materials for both teachers and students. These kits are made available to every high school in Ontario.

In 2008, Know Your Ride received approval from Curriculum Services Canada for use in Grade 10 Civics classes.

Famous quotes containing the word ride:

    There is a limit to the application of democratic methods. You can inquire of all the passengers as to what type of car they like to ride in, but it is impossible to question them as to whether to apply the brakes when the train is at full speed and accident threatens.
    Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
