Suwanee program targets teen driving safety

SUWANEE - The Suwanee Police Department is offering a free two-hour program designed to assist parents and their new teen drivers. <br /> <br /> Georgia Teens Ride with PRIDE (Parents Reducing Injuries and Driver Error) will be offered at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, August 29, at the Suwanee Police Training Center at 2966 Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road.<br /> <br /> The course focuses on driver attitude, knowledge, and behavior. Rather than a technical, hands-on driver training program, PRIDE addresses seat belts, crash dynamics, Georgia's teen driving laws, parental influence, and peer pressure.<br /> <br /> The course is free and open to the public, but space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration is required by August 19; forms are available in the "Quick Clicks" section at www.suwanee.com. A parent or guardian is required to attend with their teen.<br /> <br /> The City of Suwanee Police Department offers PRIDE in cooperation with the Georgia Traffic Injury Prevention Institute.
