The Ford “Driving Skills for Life” program will be coming to Chattahoochee High School in Johns Creek Tuesday for a teen driving safety fair.

Throughout the school day, students can get behind the wheel on course modules designed for vehicle handing and distracted/impaired driving. The Ford Motor Company Fund's Driving Skills For Life is a national safety initiative designed to help states increase awareness of the hazards of teen driving and teach beginning drivers skills to meet the demands of the road.
