If you have a teenage driver, chances are you’ve heard of SB30, the Texas Community Safety Education Act.

On the official SB30 website, it states that their purpose is to “provide unequaled instruction as defined by Senate Bill 30, Texas Community Safety Education Act, to ensure proper safety for police officers and teenagers during traffic stops.”

The director of SB30 program development includes Dr. Steven Brooks, who has more than 25 years of experience as an educator, police officer, police instructor, SWAT technician, and is an 82nd Airborne veteran.

Dr. Brooks has the experience and resources to “create lessons which incorporate various perspectives and tools of learning.”

With his team of specialists, their “collaborative philosophy is to encourage the safety of police officers and teenagers” through contemporary and engaging lessons.

According to the CDC , “Teens are more likely than older drivers to underestimate dangerous situations or not be able to recognize hazardous situations” as they drive. This then leads to a greater chance of teens being pulled over by police.

With SB30, it is a hope to educate teens on their driving habits and how to react if the teen gets pulled over by police for a traffic stop.

It is important to spread awareness to those who might not know better. Teens who are new drivers do not have the experience as older drivers do when it comes to all areas of driving.
