The
University of Georgia Traffic Injury Prevention Institute (G.T.I.P.I.) has
developed a statewide program called Georgia
Teens Ride with P.R.I.D.E. (Parents
Reducing Incidents of Driver Error).
The program offers Parent/Teen Driver Education classes for
Coweta County residents. These
classes target parents/guardians and their teenage drivers who are either
just beginning to drive or are preparing for a learner’s permit.
The course is FREE.
This is not a hands-on, mechanical “how-to” course, but a class
that addresses driving attitude and behavior of teenagers ages 14-16.
This course will: o
Help
parents/guardians become more aware of their own driving behaviors; o
Teach
parents/guardians how to help their teenagers become safe drivers; o
Help
parents/guardians and teenagers learn what they need to do during the
supervised practice driving time required to obtain a license; and o
Alter
attitudes and driving behaviors of novice teenage drivers. “Georgia Teens Ride with
P.R.I.D.E.” (Parents Reducing Incidents
of
Driver
Error) Course Outline Part I: “Teen Drivers &
Motor Vehicle Crashes” Part II: “Understanding the
Licensing Process and Georgia’s Teen Driving
Laws” Part III: “Coaching Your
New Driver” (for parents) OR “Getting the Keys to the
Wheels and Keeping Them” (for teenage drivers) Part IV: “Agreement to Ride
with P.R.I.D.E.” Is your teenager’s life worth
two hours of your time? Register today! (registration form attached) Note: This is a FREE,
two-hour course designed to help parents and their new teen drivers, ages
14-16, learn what they need to do during the 40 hours of supervised
practice driving time. (Twenty hours of supervised practice driving time
is required if the teen successfully completes driver education.) This is
a program that addresses driver attitude, knowledge, and behavior, rather
than a technical hands-on driver-training course. While completion of this
course may reduce insurance rates, it does not count toward the required
40 hours of supervised driving practice. Visit www.ridesafegeorgia.org Or call 678-413-4281 or 1-800-342-9819 for more information. From Guidance ·
