The workshop covers CT’s graduated driver’s license (GDL) requirements, and what teens and parents must do to obtain a driver’s permit and later a driver’s license. It reviews distracted driving laws, focuses on the dangers of cell phone use, texting and drinking while driving and provides interactive exercises to drive home certain safety points.
In addition to handouts and other teen driving information, each attending family will also receive – as long as supplies last -- a copy of “Driver-Zed,” a AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety-produced DVD that helps teens become safer drivers.
