Free Car Safety Kit for New Drivers in Michigan

Keeping Michigan Drivers Safe

Learning to drive is one of life’s biggest milestones, but it also comes with real risks and real responsibility. For new drivers and their families, safety is always top of mind. That’s why Sam Bernstein Law partnered with the Michigan State Police to create the Call Sam Car Safety Kit, a free program designed to help new drivers across Michigan stay prepared, confident, and safe on the road.

Every day, we see firsthand how quickly an unexpected situation can happen behind the wheel. Whether it’s a roadside emergency, low visibility conditions, or simply not knowing what to do in a stressful moment, preparation can make all the difference. The Call Sam Car Safety Kit was created to bridge that gap—giving drivers the essential tools and guidance they need to respond safely when it matters most.

“At Sam Bernstein Law, our mission has always been to protect the people in our communities when they need it most. Partnering with the Michigan State Police on the Call Sam Car Safety Kit allows us to take that mission a step further by helping drivers stay safe before an accident ever happens.” –Mark Bernstein, Co-CEO, Sam Bernstein Law

This program reflects a shared commitment between Sam Bernstein Law and the Michigan State Police to promote safer roads across Michigan. By equipping new drivers with the right tools—and the knowledge to use them—we’re helping build safer habits from day one.

Whether you’re a new driver or a parent looking for added peace of mind, the Call Sam Car Safety Kit is designed with your safety in mind.

Free Safety Resources for Every Stage of Driving

We’ve created tools to help keep you safe at every step whether you’re learning to drive or heading out on your own.

Student Driver Magnet

Learning to drive takes time and patience from everyone on the road. Our Student Driver magnet helps signal that a driver is still gaining experience, encouraging others to give more space and drive more cautiously. It’s a simple way to create a safer environment while new drivers build confidence behind the wheel.

Call Sam Car Safety Kit

Once drivers are on the road independently, being prepared matters. The Call Sam Car Safety Kit includes a durable reflective safety bag and essential roadside items like jumper cables, a tire gauge, emergency supplies, and more. It’s designed to help drivers stay organized, visible, and ready for the unexpected.

Many families choose to start with a Student Driver magnet while their driver is learning, and then request a safety kit once they’re licensed and driving on their own. No matter where you are in the process, the goal is the same: helping you stay safe and prepared every time you get behind the wheel.
