On May 4th, Natalie Hayford and Joey Siemieniak went to the MN Safety Council headquarters and met with a Ford Spokesperson. Ford is introducing a new feature called MyKey on the 2010 Ford Focus, but will become standard in 90% of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles by 2010. Ford MyKey is a safety feature for teens. There is a special key that comes with the car, but does not look any different from a normal key, that limits the car speed to not exceed 80 mph, the radio volume can only go 44% of its capacity, and the car chimes and mutes the radio until the driver buckles up. You can find out more information at: Ford Driving Skills for Life.
Here is a clip when Joey drove the Ford Focus without his seat belt on:
Then on May 5th, the Ford Spokesperson came to Crossroads North Campus which recently lost a student due to not wearing his seat belt in a car crash.
The students really enjoyed learning about the car and getting to drive it.
