Getting a driver's license for the first time is often one of the most exciting moments for teenagers. Nonetheless, it is also one of the riskiest moments in their lives. Road crashes are the number one cause of death among teenagers. On average, fifteen teens die every day because of vehicular accidents. This number adds up to more than 6000 teens yearly. Don't leave your child without proper road training. Register them for a driving class so that they can start a new, happy chapter of their lives. There are night classes and a summer five-week program available each semester (go back to home page, click on summer or night program for more details). By enrolling your child, you are equipping them with the necessary skills and attitude to be a responsible driver. The driver's education program is responsible for teaching road discipline to teens. So, let’s reach out to our child’s guidance counselor, and find out if a driver education class is accessible for a full semester. It is the most significant gift you can offer to your child.
