(TORRANCE, Calif. and CHARLOTTE, NC, Oct. 20, 2025) – In the midst of Teen Driver Safety Week, Honda and Discovery Education have launched year three of the innovative Honda Safety Driven young driver safety initiative with new educational content featuring IndyCar driver and Indy 500 winner Scott Dixon and champion motocross riders Jett and Hunter Lawrence of the Honda HRC Progressive racing team. The racers are featured in a new two-part video series titled Honda Safety in Action: From Racetrack to Roadway – It Takes All of Us, demonstrating how racing at high speeds should inspire real-world safe riding and driving habits.

“We are thrilled to feature Honda-powered champion riders like Jett and Hunter Lawrence and Indy 500 winner Scott Dixon as they help inspire and educate the next generation of safe riders and drivers through our Honda Safety Driven initiative,” said MJ Foxley, Safety Strategy Leader at American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “Now in its third year, Honda Safety Driven continues to introduce innovative and unexpected ways to engage and educate young people about traffic safety with nearly one million students reached in the first two years and counting.”
The first part of the video series focuses on two-wheel vehicle safety, including bikes, e-bikes, scooters, and motorcycles, with Jett Lawrence, who won the 2025 AMA Pro Motocross 450 Class championship, his second, and his brother Hunter, the 2025 runner-up. Part two of the series explores four-wheel vehicle safety with 6-time IndyCar series Driver’s Champion Scott Dixon, along with Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) engineers. Together, the videos are a new way to interest and engage with students by translating elite racing insights into practical, everyday safety tips. In addition, the Honda Safety in Action: From Racetrack to Roadway video series features accompanying standards-aligned classroom activities, educator resources, and at-home materials.
“Teen Driver Safety Week offers the perfect opportunity to talk to students about driver safety, and this engaging new content from Honda and Discovery Education can play a key role in supporting those conversations,” said Catherine Dunlop, Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships at Discovery Education. “By showing how seriously professional racers treat safety on an everyday basis, we’re helping students understand the importance of making smart choices.”
In 2023, Honda and Discovery Education launched Honda Safety Driven as a multi-year safety initiative to help address the nearly one-third of annual traffic fatalities in the U.S. involving drivers under the age of 25. Now in its third year after reaching nearly one million students, the national safety education initiative uses real-world applications and practices of STEAM, aiming to empower students to use safe driving skills as a roadmap to become responsible decision-makers. Discovery Educationis the maker of essential PreK-12 learning solutions used in classrooms around the world.
To advance safety initiatives in the community, Honda and the Honda USA Foundation have contributed more than $8 million to nonprofit organizations and schools over the past 4 years, supporting programs that promote safe driving practices, awareness and education both on and off the road. These programs include education, training, and resources that supplement or go beyond traditional driver’s training courses or mandated state driver’s programs.
