Lessons on driver safety complement practice in the simulators.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Ohio Rep.\u00a0 William Batchelder, R-Medina,\u00a0authored  legislation to create\u00a0a specialty \u00a0license plate to help fund the  purchase of more simulators. This about the plates, available beginning  Oct. 1, \u00a0from Sanderbeck\u2019s press release:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Proceeds of $10.00 per plate will be deposited into  Michelle\u2019s Leading Star Foundation to help fund a Teen Simulated Driving  curriculum across high schools in the State of Ohio. The average cost  of a special interested plate ranges from $65 to $70 and can be ordered  at your local BMV or by visiting https:\/\/www.oplates.com\/PlateSpecial.aspx. The emphasis is to create awareness of \u201cSAVING TEEN LIVES.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michelle\u2019s Leading Star Foundation was formed by the Sanderbecks and  is now in its fourth year of existence. It has integrated a Simulated  Drivers Educational curriculum targeted at young teens preparing them  for adulthood and teaching them critical driving skills in a safe  controlled environment at Medina High School. Its purpose is to help  educate teens to make better choices, be responsible and stay focused  while driving.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Michelle Sanderbeck was killed in a one-car accident while riding  with three other teenage passengers and a 16-year-old driver who had  held his license for only a month. Police determined that speed and the  young driver\u2019s inexperience led to the crash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ray Sanderbeck, whose 15-year-old daughter, Michelle, was killed in a traffic accident in 2006, has led the effort to improve driver education with\u00a0driving simulators through the Michelle\u2019s Leading Star Foundation, named for his daughter.
