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.
To paraphrase Dicken's most oft-repeated line - "It is the most exciting time; It is the most frightening time."
Your teen is growing up. He or she is developing into a unique adult, learning to make potentially life altering decisions. But there are many dangers and risks that you as a adult have learned over the years that your teen is probably unaware of or at least unconcerned about at the moment. The greatest risk to American teens is driving.
JohnDavid Howard of Perry, Georgia, literally drove away with the title of America’s Safest Teen Driver 2007 in the Safe America Foundation teen driving contest, SafeTeen America Driving Challenge held in Roswell, Georgia on December 15. The contest was the first for what is planned to be an annual event.
More than 600 parents and teens registered for the Teen Driving Academy II at Atlanta Motor Speedway held on Saturday July 7. The event was possible thanks to the generosity of The Allstate Foundation which awarded a $125,000 grant to Safe America to support programming to enhance teen driver education and emergency preparedness in four Southeastern states.
