Teen Driver Challenge

Traffic crashes occur every 12 seconds in the United States. Vehicular crashes are the No. 1 cause of deaths amoung young adults. If you are a teen driver, 16-19 years of age, you are more likely to be killed in an automobile crash than any other way.

The first step in reducing these statistics begins with you and the challenge to become a more informed, safer and efficient driver. The Teen Driver Challenge course will provide you with the knowledge and hands-on experience to reduce your chances of being involved in a crash.

The Florida Sheriffs Association’s Teen Driver Challenge is a unique “behind-the-wheel” training program for teen drivers ages 16-19. The program was designed around the specific needs of teen drivers, and based on proven exercises and safe driving techniques used by sheriff’s deputies from Florida’s 67 counties. The program includes four hours of classroom activities and eight hours of “hands-on” instruction by certified and highly trained instructors from your sheriff’s office.
