Teen Driver Challenge with Lake County Sheriff's Office

Sheriff Peyton C. Grinnell is committed to the safety of Lake County's youth and is pleased to offer, in conjunction with the Florida Sheriff's Association, the Teen Driver Challenge. This 12 hour course is taught over two days and trains teen drivers how to prevent crashes through defensive driving techniques and evasive maneuvers. The program provides a mixture of classroom instruction and hands-on driver training at the Lake Tech Institute of Public Safety Driving Range in Tavares.

Teens between the ages of 15 - 19 are eligible and MUST have a valid Learner's Permit or Florida Operators License and participants must provide their own car. The Lake County Sheriff's Office does not provide cars for this program.
