Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator will host a safe driving program for young drivers on Friday, July 26, at Sheriff’s Safety Town. The program will focus on the dangers of distracted and impaired driving.

The safety course will cover distractions including texting, cell phones, and music, and different forms of impairment such as alcohol and drug use. Part of the course includes operating an electric vehicle while wearing impairment goggles that simulate the effects of driving under the influence, Prator said.

Teens can attend either of two sessions from 10 a.m. to noon or 1-3 p.m. Participants must have either a valid driver's license or learner's permit. Each session is limited to 15 participants, so pre-registration is required.

Call Sheriff's Safety Town at 698-7233 to register. Safety Town is located at 8910 Jewella Avenue.
