Judge to host teen driving program in DeKalb
State Court Judge Kiesha R. Storey will host the Teen Victim Impact Program 5:30–7 p.m. Oct. 12 in Courtroom A of the DeKalb County State Court Traffic Division located at 3630 Camp Circle, Decatur. Judge Storey hosts quarterly TVIP presentations to raise awareness of the dangers of risky driving behaviors for young drivers facing traffic citations.
Teen and young adult drivers charged with offenses including, but not limited to, high speeding tickets, texting while driving, or causing an accident by violating the rules of the road, will gather to hear and watch stories of young people who thought a serious crash would never happen to them, but learned the tragic consequences of taking risks and failing to pay attention while driving.
Courts and prosecutors in many jurisdictions send attendees to TVIP for traffic citations in addition to Department of Driver Services-approved driver improvement courses.
Participants may register online or in person at the event. There is a $40 fee for attendees who need a certificate of attendance for court purposes, but individuals may attend for free if they do not need a certificate.
