The Walton County Sheriff’s Office is committed to the safety of our young drivers and is offering a program called the Teen Driver Challenge, which focuses on teaching teen drivers the safety skills necessary when driving.
This free course is designed to help teens boost their driving skills and lessen the chances of being involved in a crash. The program will provide a mixture of classroom instruction and hands-on driver training.
Teens aged 15-19 are eligible and MUST have a valid Learner’s Permit/Florida operator's license for at least 6 months, and participants must provide their own car.
A current copy of a driver's license, vehicle registration, and insurance is required. The class is limited to 12 students and all others will be placed on a waiting list for future classes.
The class is free and lunch is being provided by Pizza Hut in DeFuniak Springs!
The paperwork needed for the class can be found at waltonso.org under the Community Programs tab. Please DO NOT send your paperwork in early. It must be brought to class. It will not be accepted early. Make sure you provide COPIES of insurance, registration, and the student's driver's license or permit.
