Traffic crashes are the #1 killer of teens. On average, 200 Georgia teenagers lose their life in traffic crashes. Georgia Teens Ride With P.R.I.D.E. (Parents Reducing Incidents of Driver Error) is a national award winning, two-hour free program that helps establish a dialogue between parents and new teen drivers (ages 14-16) prior to the 40 hours of supervised practice driving time required by law. Rather than a technical hands-on driver training course, this program addresses driver attitude, knowledge and behavior of the parent and new teen driver, as well as Georgia licensing laws. Volunteers from Safe Kids East Central, led by the MCG Children’s Medical Center will teach the program. The program was developed by the University of Georgia Traffic Injury Prevention Institute. | P.R.I.D.E.
