Levy County Teen Driver Improvement Program
The Levy County Sheriff’s Office, Community Relations Division, is offering a
no cost, Teen Driver Improvement Program to all Levy County students who have a current
Operators License or Learners Permit or who are about to get their Learners Permit.
The goal of this program is to educate the teen drivers of Levy County of the dan-
gers of aggressive driving, distracted driving, impaired driving, and to reinforce the ben-
efits 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 the choices that they make while driving. This is a graphic presentation that will
show the students the human consequences of their driving choices.
Parent waivers are required due to the graphic nature of the presentation. All stu-
dents will be required to pre-register for the class by calling Lt. Sean Mullins or Sgt. Max
Long at 352-486-5111 ext 278 or via e-mail atsmullins@levyso.com or mlong@levyso.
