(From the Joplin Health Department)The Joplin Health Department is hosting a free First Impact teen driver program on Thursday, August 29.
This is a great program for parents/guardians and teenage drivers, both recent, new or soon-to-be drivers, to learn more about safe driving. The event will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Joplin Mineral and History Museum at 504 S Schifferdecker Avenue. The class is free, but registration is required.
According to the First Impact webpage, “Teens aged 15-19 have the highest crash risk of any age group on the road. Teens are three times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash and the risk is highest during the first 30-90 days of independent driving. This program introduces parents to the risks their new teen drivers face and will provide parents with the tools to monitor, coach, and support their teen driver to reduce the risk of fatalities and injuries of teen drivers by 20-40%.”
