Young Adults Teaching Their Peers How to
“Park Smart”to Prevent Auto Theft

Since Florida ranks high in the nation for the number of auto thefts, teaching young drivers about how to prevent auto theft is one of the first steps towards reducing this costly property crime in our state. Students view a short educational video and complete pre and post surveys following an instructional program that includes helpful tips and informative facts regarding how to be safe and “Park Smart.”

“Park Smart—New Driver,” presented in a contemporary style, discusses auto theft with students and encourages habits that can help student drivers avoid becoming a victim themselves.
