From the City of Franklin… for more info visit http://franklintn.gov
In 2013, 45% of crashes in Williamson County involved licensed drivers between 15 and 24 years old, and traffic collisions are the leading cause of death for teens in the U.S Because of these two things combined, Franklin Police and local businesses have teamed up to bring young drivers a clear perspective of life behind the wheel.
Bringing Awareness Through Training and Life Experiences (B.A.T.T.L.E.) is an 8-hour program that teaches teen drivers safe behind-the-wheel behavior through an interactive, hands-on experience with officers.
BATTLE explores the rules of the road, the dangers of distracted and impaired driving, occupant protection, and dangerous driving behaviors. Qualified applicants include Williamson County teens with a parent’s permission and a valid Tennessee driver’s license or learner’s permit.
