NSC will be hosting the DriveitHOME webinar as a part of the organization’s larger program to promote safer driving.

“Parents are the number one influence on new drivers, so your efforts can make or break your teen’s habits behind the wheel,” an Ohio State Highway Patrol spokesperson stated, encouraging parents to attend the virtual lesson.

The webinar is intended to inform parents on three major topics: a teen’s biggest risks, Ohio’s graduated driver licensing laws, and resources available to teens while learning to drive.

The webinar specifically geared towards Ohio residents will be held on Tuesday, January 31, at 8 p.m.
