D.R.I.V.E Driving Responsibly Includes Vehicle Education Program (Traffic Safety Class) 

The DRIVE program is designed specifically for inexperienced drivers. The purpose of this program is to instill the cognition and responsibility of driving a motor vehicle, changing the teen driver's perceptions. This program is available to juveniles 16-18 years of age with a total of 3 hours of instruction. Enrollment in this program requires a referral from a Traffic Master.

The U-DRIVE Program is geared towards juveniles needing to complete the written test to obtain their Nevada Instruction Permit/Driver's License. This course curriculum was taken from the Nevada Driver's Handbook to teach knowledge of traffic laws, signs, signals and defensive driving techniques. After completing this program, the juvenile will have covered the main points from the Nevada Driver's Handbook, which will assist when taking the written test. This program is available to juveniles 15-18 years of age.
