7th Annual Teen Driving Academy set for May 5

Henry County Police Department and the Safe America Foundation are hosting the
7th Annual Safe Teen Georgia Driving Academy at the Atlanta Motor Speedway on
May 5, 2012 from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Teenagers and their parents will learn about Georgia Driving Laws, the consequences of distracted and impaired driving, trauma care, insurance, car maintenance, railroad safety and much more in “pit stop” classes throughout the day. Attendees will also have the opportunity to experience driving on an obstacle course using fatal vision goggles or texting, watch what happens in a roll-over accident, and take a braking test on simulators. In addition, there will be demonstrations of a car crash extraction with the Jaws of Life and live helicopter rescues. Henry County Public Safety officials will be on hand to answer questions and give vital information on keeping teens safe while behind the wheel.

This is a very important and special day for teens and parents, and as an added bonus, NASCAR’s newest young star, Tia Norfleet, will make a special appearance greeting fans.

The Atlanta Motor Speedway is located at 1500 Tara Place in Hampton, GA 30228.

Registration is $25 and may be completed online. For more information or to register, visit www.safeamerica.org.
