Teen Driver Challenge

Presented by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office and the Florida Sheriffs Association

Parents and Guardians, are you concerned about your teenager's safety while driving? Sign your teen up for the FREE Teen Driver Challenge Class.

This one-day hands-on education program addresses the primary factors affecting teen drivers – speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, texting while driving and distracted driving.” (FSA’s Teen Driver Challenge – Link to: https://www.flsheriffs.org/law-enforcement-programs/our-programs/teen-driver-challenge)

Is your teen a licensed driver, between the age of 16 - 19?
Do they reside in Duval County?
Do they have 20+ hours of actual driving experience?
Does your teen have access to a properly insured vehicle during class hours?
