Alive at 25 teaches rules of the road
Southwest Colorado Coalition for Occupant Protection will offer Alive at 25 defensive-driving classes over the summer.
Alive at 25 is an interactive, 4½-hour driver’s awareness course designed by the National Safety Council and taught by local law-enforcement officers. The course encourages young drivers and passengers, ages 15-24, to take responsibility for their behavior in a motor vehicle. Alive at 25 instructors use workbook exercises, interactive media segments, group discussions, role-playing and short lectures to help young drivers and passengers develop convictions and strategies that will keep them safer on the road.
