* Keep another teen from becoming a statistic. Encourage them to take the Alive at 25
Defensive Driving Course from the National Safety Council.
Since 1995, more than 1,000,000 young adults have learned life-saving defensive driving skills from Alive at 25 training. It addresses the number one cause of death for drivers ages 15 to 24 — motor vehicle crashes — and has been adopted by many states and courts for graduated licensing and traffic violator programs. The third edition shows young drivers how to take greater responsibility for their driving behavior. A compelling video challenges participants to imagine life without them.
What young adults will learn
• Why drivers ages 15 to 24 often underestimate risks
• The effects of inexperience, peer pressure and such distractions as cell phones,
text messaging, MP3 players and GPS units
• The dangers of “kneeing” — or driving with your knees
• State and local driving laws
• Communication skills for assertiveness and being a young leader • Responsibility of passengers
Course description
Alive at 25 is a highly-effective four-hour course that serves as an excellent complement to standard driver education programs — and is also ideal for young drivers who
incur traffic violations. Through interactive media segments, workbook exercises, class discussions and role playing, young drivers develop convictions and strategies that will keep them safe on the road.
Course benefits
The third edition has a strong focus on good decision-making skills. Skill practice
and on-the-spot defensive driving techniques help change bravado into confidence.
In addition to language that resonates with young adults, there’s also emphasis on classroom participation. Teens are encouraged to join in non-threatening, non-judgmental discussions — exploring how changing driving behavior makes personal, legal and financial sense.
