The Levy County Sheriff’s Office and the Community Relations
Division, is offering
a Teen Driver Improvement Program to all Levy County
students who have a current Operators License, Learners Permit or who are about
to get their Learners Permit.
The goal of this program is to educate the teenage drivers
of Levy County
of seatbelt use. These four issues have been found to be
major causes of teen involved crashes, injuries and fatalities.
This program is
free of cost and is 4 hours in
duration. This program consists of classroom instruction, videos, power point
presentations and hands-on time during which the students will drive golf carts
through a course to learn first hand the dangers of their choices they make
while driving.
The progam is a graphic presentation that will show students the
human consequences of their driving choices. Parental waivers are required due
to the graphic nature of the presentation. Waivers are available and online at www.levyso.com, and then click on the Teen
Driver Improvement Icon on left side of screen, and at school. All students
will be required to pre-register for the class by calling Lt.Shawn Hunt or
Sgt.Max Long at (352) 486-5111 or via our e-mail at shunt@levyso.com or mlong@levyso.com. This class has a minimum requirement
of 4 students for each class to take place, so these dates are tentative.
ALL CLASSES BEGIN AT 9:00 A.M.
