Recognizing that automobile crashes are the number one cause of teenage deaths, Safety Center offers a highly interactive four hour defensive driver intervention class for teen drivers called Alive at 25. This program zeroes in on drivers between the ages of 16 and 24. Instructors use workbook exercises, interactive media segments, group discussions, role-playing, and short lectures to help young drivers develop convictions and strategies that will keep them safer on the road.
