Local GEICO office reminds teens about safe driving

SEVERN, Md., June 17, 2010 – Matt Hauser, a local GEICO representative in Anne Arundel County has been educating teens about safe driving for several years.

As a father and an active community member Hauser knows the importance of safe driving events, saying "I believe that a socially responsible business should give back to the community. Supporting a safe alternative for students, like the Howard County after-prom parties, is a perfect opportunity for me as a local insurance agent to do just that."

Crashed VehicleIn 2005, Hauser began sponsoring after-prom events at River Hill High School to offer students safer post-prom alternatives. Since then, he has been actively involved in promoting safe teen driving throughout Howard County, MD and now sponsors similar after-prom programs in twelve local schools.

This year Hauser arranged to put a crashed vehicle on the front lawn of River Hill High School to drive home the message that there are consequences to bad driving decisions.
