This course has been proven to reduce the risk of alcohol-related crashes among teenagers and young adults. In a course effectiveness study, researchers found that 16- to 24-year-olds who took a First-Time Driver course were involved in significantly fewer alcohol-related crashes than those who had not taken the course.
