Teens crash about four times more often than adults. In Montana DRIVE workshops, teen drivers learn and practice how to control a vehicle in critical driving situations and safely recover when a wheel drops off the road.

Teens practice vehicle control skills behind-the-wheel with our professional instructors to keep their vehicle in balance and respond safely to driving risks. Montana DRIVE training is based upon research and situations which cause common crashes in Montana. Teens receive an individualized report evaluating ten specific driving skills with practice recommendations.
