In an effort to stop students from driving distracted, police in Milton will host a safety class to educate young drivers.
The four-hour program will cover topics such as state laws, stats, risks and the responsibilities of a driver. Instructors will talk about the dangers of driving distracted and following too closely, while also touching on safe driving practices.
In 2016, there were 3,450 people killed in car crashes involving distracted drivers, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

There is an exam at the end of the class, and each student will receive a certificate of completion after passing.
