The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office is having a FREE Teen Driving Course on Saturday, November 16.
There are 8 danger zones for teen drivers. This crash that killed 6 Oklahoma teens may have involved many of them.
This free program is designed to train teenage drivers to avoid deadly traffic crashes through a variety of advanced driving skills, such as defensive driving techniques and evasive maneuvers. This is not a typical drivers ED class. Teen drivers will drive sections of the same driving course taught to law enforcement officers in Oklahoma CLEET Law Enforcement Driver Training (LEDT), but at slower speeds.
Along with covering your teen’s vehicle’s automobile operations, it also teaches young drivers life-saving skills such as the proper way to safely maneuver corners, brake during emergencies and recover from a skid.
The course is designed for teens between the ages of 16 to 19. Drivers must bring their own vehicles. Participants must have their full driver’s license for at least six months, not counting any permit time, to be eligible.
Upon successful completion, drivers will receive a certificate showing participation in the course. This may be given to the driver’s/parent’s insurance representative for a possible reduction in auto insurance cost.
When: November 16, 2024, from 8 – 4pm; free lunch provided, along with a free t-shirt
Where: The Ranger Arena at the Tulsa County Fairgrounds; 8145 E 16th Ct, Tulsa, Oklahoma
TCSO’s teen driving course program started in 2023. This will be the fifth time the class has been hosted by the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office.
