First Impact will be offering a parent and teen driver safety program at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 4th at the Lafayette County Sheriff’s Office in Lexington.

First Impact is a statewide, free, 90-minute, evidence based, traffic safety program for parents and teens developed by ThinkFirst Missouri in partnership with the Missouri Department of Transportation, Traffic & Highway Safety Division. The presentation educates parents and teens about Missouri’s Graduated Driver License (GDL) law and provides parents with the tools they need to monitor, coach, and support their soon-to-be or new teen driver.

First Impact uses video and discussion to promote the importance of parents and teens working together to reduce teen roadway crashes, injuries, and fatalities on Missouri roadways. The program is delivered by trained facilitators who coach parents by presenting key facts and proven strategies to help parents lower their teen’s crash risk by utilizing the Missouri GDL law.
