In partnership with the Florida Sheriff’s Association, the Marion County Sheriff’s office proudly offers our young drivers the Teen Drivers Challenge course. With driving being the leading cause of death among teenage drivers, we are committed to doing everything possible to reduce their chances of being involved in a traffic accident. This is a defensive driving class for young drivers between the ages of 15-19 with a leaner’s permit or driver’s license with at least SIX MONTHS of driving experience. 

This program is a no-cost, hands-on defensive driving class designed to educate young drivers on vehicle awareness and will cover various topics such as:·    

Teen crash facts - Knowing your vehicle - Using your senses - Vehicle dynamics - Drug and alcohol use - Aggressive driving and road rage - Figure 8 - Threshold/Emergency Braking - Backing - Cornering - Forward and reverse serpentine - Evasive maneuvers.

It is a one-day event consisting of classroom lectures and vehicle operations. They will learn invaluable information that will not only make them a safer driver but could also save their life. 

These classes are on a first-come, first serve basis. With such high demand, they fill up fast, so don’t delay. Click the registration link below and get the enrollment process started.
