Traffic crashes are the number one cause of death for teens age 16 to 19, accounting for more teen deaths than the next three causes combined. Driver education is proven to reduce crash rates. In fact, teens who are supported by adults and who train with professionals are up to 70% less likely to be involved in a serious injury or fatality crash.

With numbers like these, it is imperative that we enroll teenagers in a professional driver training course.

Explore the latest in safe driver training in new and innovative ways with professional driving instructors. The course includes 30 classroom hours and 12 hours of in-car training. Upon successful completion, students will receive a certificate for submission to DMV at time of licensure and for potential insurance discounts.

Did you know...

According to the American Automobile Association ( AAA), teenage drivers account for only 7% of the driving population but are involved in 14% of fatal crashes.

Traffic crashes are the #1 cause of death and injury for people ages 16-19. Each Year over 5,000 teens ages 16 to 20 die due to fatal injuries caused in car accidents. About 400,000 teen drivers will be seriously injured.

The risk of being involved in a car accident is higher for drivers aged 16 to 19 than it is for any other age group. For each mile driven, teen drivers are about four times more likely than other drivers to crash.

The risk of a crash is much higher during the first year teenagers are able to drive.

Problems which contribute to the high crash rate of young drivers include:

  • driving inexperience
  • lack of adequate driving skills
  • risk taking
  • poor driving judgement and decision making
  • alcohol consumption and excessive driving during high risk hours (11PM-5AM)

A solid driver education curriculum, such as the program offered at Oregon Driver Education Center, focuses on these risk factors as well as all aspects of teen driver safety. We work closely with the parents as well as the teen drivers to build strong safety skills and confidence behind the wheel. Our primary concern is to provide your child with the skills to stay alive.
