Summer is the worse time for teen car accidents because school is out, and more new drivers are on the road. Last summer, the Johns Creek Police and Municipal Court started STOP in response to so many teen traffic violators in Johns Creek.

Since then, more than 700 young drivers have participated in the program - most because they were ordered to when they got a traffic violation - but many because they wanted to know more about safe driving.

If you have a newly permitted or licensed driver in your household, we encourage you to enroll them in STOP.

The next classes are July 21, August 18 and Sept. 22. You only need to attend one class (about one ½ hours). It's a free community service for Johns Creek teens and their parents. Read more.
