Free Teen Driving Seminar in April in Suwanee

A free program designed to give new teen drivers fresh attitudes and more confidence behind the wheel will be offered soon in Suwanee.

The Suwanee Police Department will host Georgia Teens Ride with PRIDE on Thursday, April 12, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The event will be at the police headquarters, 373 Buford Highway, across from Town Center. This is done with the Georgia Traffic Injury Prevention Institute.

Registration deadline is Friday, March 23.

The course makes parents and guardians more aware of their own driving behaviors, assists parents in helping their teens to become safe drivers, and offers strategies for required supervised practice driving time, according to a city news release. PRIDE is not a hands-on, “how-to” program.

Space is limited and advanced registration is required. A parent must accompany participating teens. To download an application, visit www.suwanee.com or contact Officer Elias Casanas at elias@suwanee.com or770-904-7612.
