Georgia Teens Ride With P.R.I.D.E. (Parents Reducing Injuries and Driver Error) is a FREE, National Award-Winning two-hour course designed to help parents and their new (or soon to be) teen drivers, ages 14-16, learn what they need to do during the 40 hours of supervised practice driving time required by Georgia law. There are no attendance restrictions. Click on the registration form to register today! There are two upcoming classes that will be held at the Veterans Community Park Center on February 6th from 10:00 AM - Noon, and on February 18th from 6:00-8:00 PM.

*NOTE: This is not to be confused with a driver's education course! Rather than a technical hands-on driver training course, this program addresses driver attitude, knowledge, and behavior of both the parent and new teen driver.
