Alive at 25
Alive at 25
Alive at 25® focuses on young adult drivers between the ages of 15 and 24, the group with the greatest risk of death by motor vehicle crash. This highly interactive course targets those most in need of learning defensive driving skills, emphasizes making sound driving choices and raises awareness of the consequences of poor driving conduct. Since 1995, millions of young adult drivers have taken this course, including military, high school students and those sent by traffic court who have incurred traffic violations.
Alive at 25 focuses on the issues that put young drivers in jeopardy—inexperience, poor judgement, distractions, peer pressure and a tendency to underestimate risk—in a way teens can relate to.
With a strong emphasis on classroom interaction, students are encouraged to join in non-threatening, non-judgmental discussions—exploring how changing driving behavior makes personal, legal and financial sense.
