Every year, drivers under the age of 25 are involved in more than six million collisions resulting in 14,000 fatalities. Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for young adults between 15 and 25 years of age. Research studies confirm that young drivers do have knowledge of driving principles and laws. However, because of their inexperience and casual attitudes toward driving, they often use poor judgment or make bad decisions when behind the wheel. Through integrative learning techniques, the instructor helps students examine why their age group is at such high risk while driving.
Participants form their own conclusions, which they are encouraged to analyze.
Participants then determine whether this behavior has a negative effect on their driving and are instructed on how to take control and change this type of behavior. All participants are required to join in discussion of workbook exercises. Classes are scheduled in the evenings and on Saturdays, several times each month.
