Alive at 25 Defensive Driving Course

It's time for a change in focus:

This young driver intervention program zeroes in on drivers between the ages of 16 and 24 - the group most likely to be involved in fatal collisions.  Alive at 25 is a survival course developed by the National Safety Council and is designed to prevent the number one killer of teens, automobile crashes.  Alive at 25 is taught by off-duty Deputy Sheriffs, and Municipal Police Officers.  The course is delivered in one 4 1/2 hour program which focuses on the behaviors and decision-making paradigms that young drivers and passengers display behind the wheel.

These behaviors and their implications are explored in-depth through a combination of subject discussions and interactive teaching tools including:

Risk Identification

Interactive Video  Presention

Experience sharing with peers

Role-playing in various driving situations

Driving law in review - local and traffic

Our DDC-Alive at 25 Instructors hold candid conversations with students about what can happen if they practice risky behavior or make poor decisions in an automobile, instructors also use personal examples and even humor to get their point across.

Vehicle crashes are the #1 cause of death for people between the ages of 16 and 24.

The National Safety Council, a leader in driver improvement training for more than 40 years, developed DDC-Alive at 25 to specifically target drivers in this age group.

Since 1995, more than 400,000 young adults have learned life-saving defensive driving skills through DDC-Alive at 25.

In a recent study by the Colorado State Patrol, 93% of DDC-Alive at 25 participants said they would change their driving behavior afterwards.

Courts and schools nationawide use DDC-Alive at 25 in their graduated license and violator programs.

DDC-Alive at 25 teaches young adults that:

People in their age group are more likely to be hurt or killed in a vehicle crash.

Inexperience, distractions and peer pressure cause unique driving hazards.

Speeding, alcohol and "party drugs" greatly increase the risk of injury or death.

As a driver or passenger, they can greatly reduce their risk by taking control.

Committ to changing their driving behavior makes personal, legal and financial sense.
