 Distracted Driving Course for Teens(August 10, 2009 - Atlanta, Georgia) 

Do you text and drive?  How about using the mobile phone while driving?  Those of just some of the distractions discussed during a driving course for teenagers that was sponsored by Allstate Insurance. 
 
The Community Outreach staff helped show teen drivers the dangers of operating a motor vehicle while distracted.  Sergeant Denise Bennett served as a "distractors" while riding with a teen motorist as he navigated his vehicle through an obstacle course. 
 
The first trip through the course was nice and quiet.  The second and subsequent trips were enhanced with loud music, talking, and other annoying tricks used by the "distractors".  Outside factors included a police helicopter, a Sheriff's patrol vehicle, and a motorcycle officer from APD.  One teen reported that he never heard the siren or Deputy Ernest Jones's voice through a loud speaker instructing him to pull over. 
 
Parents and teens agreed that this exercise was an excellent learning experience.
