Alive at 25

The Alive at 25 Course is a driver’s awareness course designed by the National Safety Council for young drivers under the age of 25 years of age. More young people die as a result of traffic crashes than any other cause… 11,000 per year. Of those who have attended the Alive at 25 Course, that number is reduced by 74%. The course is designed to save lives through education, so young drivers won’t have to learn the hard way that safe driving is a serious matter.
