Safe Teen Driver’s first event following the airing of Crossroads: A Story of Forgiveness was a tremendous success. The organization partnered with C.A.R.S. (Cops Against Racing on Streets), to bring the first “Show Off Your Ride” car show to Pinellas County.

Held at the world-famous Quaker Steak and Lube, the day-long event featured cool cars and hot wheels, lots of great music, door prizes and delicious food. Dozens of awesome cars and motorcycles were featured, and a number of proud owners took home trophies for their vehicles.

Several young drivers who had been convicted of a vehicular crime took time to speak about their ordeals and how Safe Teen Driver was helping them to reach out the community and share their experiences. The speakers included Justin Cabezas, John Templeton Jr. and Jessica Rasdall.

Safe Teen Driver wants to thank everyone involved with making the event a success and especially Crown Cars, the Lay Family and Quaker Steak and Lube.

And keep your eye out, Pinellas County. “Show Off Your Ride” will cruise in again sometime. Check back to this Web site for more details.

Crossroads: A Story of Forgiveness

Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie

Bruce Murakami and all the staff at Safe Teen Driver have been deeply touched by the overwhelming response received after the airing of Hallmark Hall of Fame’s production of Crossroads: A Story of Forgiveness this past April. We have had over 1 million responses including hundreds of requests to speak at schools, businesses and local civic groups around the country—and the communication continues even today.

Thank you to everyone who watched the movie or felt compelled to contact Bruce.
