Do you have a teen driver at home, or maybe about to have one?

Then make plans to join the Milton Police Department from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11 for the opening class of our Georgia Teens Ride with P.R.I.D.E. (Parents Reducing Injuries and Driver Error) Program at City Hall.

For more information or to register, click here.

The P.R.I.D.E. program is a free 2-hour course designed to help parents and their future teen drivers on learners’ permits learn what they need to do during the 40 hours of supervised practice driving time. The course covers the driver’s attitude, knowledge and behavior, rather than the technical hands-on side of a driver training course. It focuses on seat belts, crash dynamics, Georgia’s teen driving laws, parental influence and peer pressure.

During the course, parents receive information (and a take home guide) on what to do during the supervised driving practice time with their teen drivers, while their teens have the chance to engage in a round-table discussion about risky driving behaviors exhibited among teen drivers.

Please email any questions or comments to Milton Community Outreach Officer Andrew Noblett at andrew.noblett@cityofmiltonga.us.
