As a parent, the majority of driver training is left up to you.  After only 6-hours behind the wheel with a driving school, it becomes your responsibility to ensure that your children are safe behind the wheel — not only until they get their license, but also once they have it.

This program provides a very informative overview of the rules, regulations, tips and tricks on how to be the most effective parent teacher of driver’s education to keep your kids and your community safe. It is focused for specifically for parents; however, teens are invited to attend as well.  Parents with teens from the age of 15 and older should attend.

“Motor vehicle crashes are the number one killer of teens in the US, and this has to stop,” says Jason Friedman, CEO of Drive Safer.  “Many parents don’t have access to the critically important information that they need to protect and teach their teens how to safely operate and control their car.  This is why we work with local high schools to present programs like this.”

There will be a prize raffle for some lucky families including: a free Drive Safer Teen Car Control & Defensive Driving Program valued at $249, a $50 gift certificate to Fallons Driving School. All attendees will also receive 20% off of the March 9th Drive Safer course @ MetLife Stadium and 
the RHS PTO will receive 12% of the registration fees to support project 
graduation.

This FREE program is sponsored by the Ramapo High School PTO. For more information contact Laura Policastro @ 973-271-4056.
