The Youth Safety Council of Vermont was formed in 2005 to: 

 

  • promote and support youth safety programs, education, initiatives and studies;

 

  • partner with youth safety experts and advocates to sustain and improve existing programs;

 

  • increase public awareness of youth safety issues;

 

  • support and conduct educational and informational activities and increase public awareness of youth safety issues.

 

 

Teen drivers need a “BRAKE”. That’s why the Youth Safety Council is proud to offer its “Teen Driver Essential Skills Training” conducted by Stevens Advanced Driver Training. The program is a hands-on supplemental driver training program that trains teens on the proper use of ABS brakes, demonstrates the dangers of tailgating, teaches proper backing-up techniques and develops skills for car control and crash avoidance. Our 2009 sessions are currently being conducted in Concord, New Hampshire & Pownal, Vermont.

 

 

 

Testimonials

“I hope the course becomes a requirement for licensing.”

 

“Knowing the proper technique in using ABS brakes helped in a couple of tight situations — when people who haven’t taken the course did some idiotic maneuvers.”

 

“I’m more aware of safe distances from other cars in general, I think more about things suddenly coming in my path and I avoid backing up whenever possible.”

 

“The benefit of this course for 16-year olds is well recognized. I feel it is equally valuable for mature drivers, particularly those whose reaction time is slowing down.”
