Alive at 25 (National Safety Council)

Since 1995, more than 850,000 young adults have learned life-saving defensive driving skills from the National Safety Council’s Alive at 25® training. It addresses the number one cause of death for drivers ages 15 to 24 — motor vehicle crashes — and has been adopted by many states and courts for graduated licensing and traffic violator programs. The third edition shows young drivers how to take greater responsibility for their driving behavior. A compelling video challenges participants to imagine life without them.

What young adults will learn

• Why drivers ages 15 to 24 often underestimate risks
• The effects of inexperience, peer pressure and such distractions as cell phones, text messaging,
• MP3 players and GPS units
• The dangers of “kneeing” — or driving with your knees
• State and local driving laws
• Communication skills for assertiveness and being a young leader
• Responsibility of passengers
