Driver's Edge held a free course for young drivers this weekend.
The program was for young adults ages 15 to 21 with a valid learner's permit or driver's license.
The young drivers learned skills such as defensive driving, skid control, evasive lane change maneuvers, anti-lock braking skills and panic-braking techniques.
They also learned about the dangers of distracted driving, including texting and driving.
Drivers practiced skills in classrooms as well as behind the wheel.
They also had the chance to meet with Nevada State Police and learn about car maintenance.
Driver's Edge hopes to reduce the high number of teen car crashes and fatalities.
The next event will be in Reno from July 25 to July 28.
