Is someone you love learning to drive? The Fairfax County Police Department Youthful Driver Program can help. Police instructors will help your “young driver”:

• Learn what it means to be an “inexperienced” driver       
• Identify the risks and realities of being teen driver
• How to ignore peer pressure behind the wheel

Spend a Saturday learning the rules and risks of the road. Dangers of the road aren’t confined to teenagers; everyone on the road will be safer once they learn:

• How to recover from skidding on a wet roadway
• How to adjust your driving when road surfaces vary- hard surface to soft shoulders
• How to judge distance while driving at highway speeds

The Youthful Driver Program is a one day, hands-on course, running one Saturday each month from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m.
