Young people can believe they’re invincible and that nothing bad will ever happen to them. This attitude can carry over to the car, causing them to make poor decisions while driving. That’s why we’ve created
Defensive Driving Course - Alive at 25®
and the Alive at 25® Parent Program.
DDC – Alive at 25®, Third Edition
Every year, young adult drivers are involved in more than six million collisions, resulting in 14,000 fatalities. In a continuing effort to save lives and equip teens to drive more defensively, the National Safety Council has revised and updated its
Alive at 25 defensive driving course.
The third edition of DDC – Alive at 25 encourages young drivers to take responsibility for their driving behavior. Through interactive media segments, workbook exercises, class discussions and role playing, young drivers develop convictions and strategies that will keep them safe on the road.
- Alive at 25 is the premier defensive driving course for drivers under the age of 25.
- More than 750,000 young adults have learned life-saving defensive driving skills through the program.
- More courts, schools and state patrols nationwide use Alive at 25 in their graduated license and violator programs than any other driver training course.
DDC - Alive at 25 Parent Program
The role of parents in the learning-to-drive process is paramount. To get young drivers ready for the responsibility, parents need to be armed with the skills and communication techniques to get through to them.
Alive at 25 Parent Program
is the first of its kind to identify the risks their young drivers face and help parents reinforce basic driving skills and good decision-making to help their teens become responsible, crash-free drivers.
Open class dialogue provides a platform for parents to learn from other parents as well as the instructor. The course examines Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) laws, other laws related to safety belts, speeding, alcohol and drugs, and practical solutions to reduce the risks their teens face.
Most importantly, parents will walk away with an effective Parent/Teen Driver Contract and the tools to engage their teens manage their driving experience.
