Registration is now open for the Elgin Police Department’s ‘Safe Teen’ Driving Seminar to be held on Tuesday April 12, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Elgin Police Department.
In an effort to educate new drivers and keep their passengers and themselves safe, this seminar will be taught by Elgin Police traffic officers and offered to teenage drivers and their parents or guardians. New drivers may lack the experience that is needed in many driving scenarios and officers will cover topics such as teen driver risks, how to prepare for an emergency situation, the dangers of distracted driving, seatbelt use, and the differences between adult and teenage licenses.
Online registration is available through April 10, 2016 at www.cityofelgin.org/safeteen; there is no fee for the class. A parent or guardian must accompany participants under the age of 18 and Elgin residents will be given registration priority. Sergeant Kevin Senne may be contacted at 847-289-2661 with any questions.
