Maintaining a vehicle properly saves lives and money. This course will cover the primary car parts that need regular maintenance – which includes changing a tire. Topics include knowing the proper fluids, correct tire pressure, and proper use of other parts of your vehicle.

Drinking and Driving
Underage drinking is not only illegal, but also deadly. Students will have the opportunity to experience a DUI pullover, walk a sobriety line with special goggles replicating the physical experience of being drunk. Law enforcement will then give several students a Breathalyzer test. Law enforcement will review the stiff penalties in Georgia for drinking and driving.
