Traffic crashes are the #1 Killer of teens. On average 200 Georgia teenagers lose their life in traffic crashes. As a Georgia Teens Ride With P.R.I.D.E.(Parents Reducing Incidents of Driver Error) Instructor, you can help prevent teen crashes in your community.

Safety advocates such as child passenger safety technicians, public safety officers, educators, public health and emergency medical workers, as well as business, civic and faith leaders are encouraged to become Certified Instructors through this train-the-trainer course. GTIPI provides all training materials necessary to conduct the 2-hour Georgia Teens Ride With P.R.I.D.E. class for parents and teens in your local community.

The Instructor Certification course includes teen driving facts and statistics, crash dynamics, Joshua's Law, Driver's Education and Georgia’s Teenage and Adult Driver Responsibility Act (TADRA). Participants learn how to work with parents on what to do during the supervised practice of their teen drivers required by law, as well as how to lead teens in a roundtable discussion about high-risk driving behavior.

In addition to the 6-hour course, new P.R.I.D.E. Instructors must observe an approved 2-hour parent-teen class. Trainees receive 8 total hours of P.O.S.T. credit for instructor certifcation. P.R.I.D.E. Instructors must re-certify annually.


New P.R.I.D.E. instructors are required to attend an approved 2-hour parent-teen course on the evening of their training in order to receive certification. Trainees are granted eight (8) total hours of P.O.S.T. credit for instructor certification.
