Even though Spring Break and Summer Vacation are weeks and months away it's not too early to plan when you will take your driver education training. You can even take a weekend class before the breaks and keep your off time for yourself. Of course, you'll want to take driver education from the organization that specializes in teen driving - the Safe America Foundation. (Help for Parents of Teen Drivers)

Weekend classes, Spring Break classes and Summer Vacation classes are available at our headquarters location in Marietta and at many of our affiliate locations.

Safe America is the recognized leader in innovative safe driver education in Georgia. Our instruction includes a number of interactive hands-on workshops that keep the instruction interesting and stimulating. Students are highly engaged in the classroom, which leads to greater learning. You can choose the standard 30 and 6 program (30 hours classroom, 6 hours behind the wheel) or get additional behind-the-wheel experience with our 40-hours program (30 hours classroom, 10 hours behind the wheel).Georgia will not issue driver licenses to 16-year olds who have not completed a certified driver education program. Wouldn't you prefer to get that training from an organization dedicated to saving teen lives?

TEEN DRIVING INSTITUTE - DRIVING SIMULATION TRAINING
A driver makes over 200 decisions per mile. It is smart to be alert and have the ability to not only be a safe driver, but be prepared to respond defensively if someone else sharing the roadway has not made the same decision. Safe America's Teen Driving Institute curriculum has been designed to include instruction that focuses on the three main causes of death and injury to teens - speed, inexperience, and distractions - as well as other causes of vehicular collisions. The TDI uses state-of-the-art driving simulators to produce life-like images with high resolution 3-dimensional graphics to produce life-like images. Complex, unpredictable and realistic traffic interaction replicates a high degree of accuracy - the types of situations drivers are exposed to when actually driving. Braking, acceleration, steering and cornering responses mimic those of a real car. The simulator replicates what it is like to drive in adverse driving conditions such as rain, ice, and fog, in daylight and at night.

SIMULATION DRIVER TRAINING - Curriculum
The Simulation Driver Training course consists of 6 hours of classroom instruction covering: *Driving Overview - The challenges of driving safely without distractions; curriculum overview and simulator instruction; seat adjustments, restraints, dashboard controls, hand & foot controls, mirrors.
*Getting on the Road - Moving forward and mastering steering; mastering controls at regular speed and maneuvering at low speeds; accelerating, braking and stopping.
*Basic Training - Entering and exiting the roadway; converging lanes and intersections; test drive in the city, on the Interstate, and in the mountains.
*Intermediate Training - Merging onto and exiting the highway; passing and following vehicles; negotiating difficult intersections; heavy traffic and driving in groups; changing driving directions.
