P.R.I.D.E. Class

P.R.I.D.E. is an educational program from the Georgia Traffic Injury Prevention Institute (GTIPI) that seeks to reduce the high number of crashes, injuries and fatalities involving teen drivers in the state of Georgia. The program will address driver attitude, knowledge and behavior, rather than technical hands-on driver skills. It will complement driver education and training; it is not a replacement for these courses.

P.R.I.D.E. 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 (20 hours of supervised practice driving time is required, if the teen successfully completes driver’s education).
