The Teen Defensive Driving Program, presented by the MSP, debuted in December 2007.  It is an eight-hour course that uses classroom and hands-on training to teach participants skid control, evasive maneuvering, controlled braking and emergency off-road recovery.  Class size is limited to 15 students per session to allow for a three-to-one student to instructor ratio.

Interested teens can attend one of four sessions, June 18, June 19, August 6 or August 7, at the MSP Training Academy in Lansing.  Participants must have a Level 2 Intermediate License under the Michigan Graduated Driver Licensing program.  Tuition is $100.
