The Gwinnett Police Department is offering the P.R.I.D.E. Program (Parents Reducing Injuries and Driver Error) safe driving classes to assist new drivers and their parents.

The free, two-hour course is designed for teen drivers ages 14 to 16. Officers do not conduct behind the wheel training, but instruct parents and teens on what to expect during the 40 hours of supervised practice driving time required by Georgia law.

Classes are at 6: 30 p.m. June 20 at the West Precinct in Norcross; June 23 at South Precinct in Lilburn; and June 26 at East Precinct in Dacula.
