Nevada State Police host ‘Driver’s Edge’ course this weekend, teaching emergency avoidance and response to young drivers
This Saturday and Sunday, April 23-24, the Highway Patrol and the Office of Traffic Safety is partnering with the Driver’s Edge program to promote safe driving habits and skills to drivers 21 and younger.
Driver’s Edge is a half-day program for drivers ages 21 and younger (with a valid license or permit) that teaches real life emergency avoidance and response techniques and overall driver safety.
This program is taught by true driving professionals through a unique combination of behind the wheel and classroom experiences. This program is fully funded by the Office of Traffic Safety and is managed by The Payne Foundation.
Our mission is to save lives by making our highways safer through comprehensive hands-on youth driver education. We believe in the importance of educating both young drivers and their parents on the responsibilities and potential dangers of operating an automobile.
Our goal is to provide young drivers, regardless of social or economic status, with a free program to develop the necessary skills to respond to a variety of hazardous driving situations because this type of training needs to be available to everyone, not just those with means.
