SUMMARY: CCSO and the Florida Sheriff's Association welcome Collier County kids to the Teen Driving Challenge.
Saturday is the final day of a two-day course that provides teens with the knowledge and hands-on experience to reduce their chances of being involved in a crash. The driving skills they are learning are the same techniques used by driving professionals, including NASCAR.
Friday consists of a four-hour block of classroom instruction. On Saturday they’ll experience eight hours of hands-on vehicle operations.
Participants will graduate with a certificate of completion that they can provide to their auto insurance company for a possible premium reduction.
