Rue & Ziffra, Daytona Dodge offer free teen driving school in Daytona Beach

Rue & Ziffra and Daytona Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram hosted a free Teen Safety Driving School on Oct. 3, 2026, at Daytona International Speedway for Volusia and Flagler County drivers ages 15 to 19. The hands-on class was designed to teach teen drivers how to control a car and avoid crashes at a time when local families are dealing with too many teen-involved wrecks.

Why it matters: - Teen drivers are at higher risk for losing control in emergencies, and the program was designed to give local families practical safety training before crashes happen. - The class targeted Volusia and Flagler County drivers ages 15 to 19 with a valid Florida driver’s license or permit. - The event addressed a problem that Rue & Ziffra sees in its personal-injury caseload: automobile and motorcycle accidents involving teenage drivers.

What happened: - Rue & Ziffra partnered with Daytona Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram to offer a free Teen Safety Driving School. - The class took place Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026, on the Truck Pad at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach. - Professional instructors taught the course. - The roster for the current set of classes was full. - Parents and teens seeking more information were directed to the teen driving school site.

The details: - Students learned the fundamentals of driving and the dangers of driving. - The program used cars equipped with a drift machine for control exercises. - The class was hands-on for student drivers. - The school was split into three separate 2½-hour sessions. - Each session had 25 students. - The classes began at 9:00 a.m. - Allan Ziffra, managing partner of the Port Orange-based law firm, said the goal was to help students learn how to regain control of a car that starts to lose control. - Ziffra said parents could expect their teens to be in good hands while learning the fundamentals of driving on the road.

Between the lines: - The partnership shows a local injury law firm using prevention and education as part of its public-facing community work. - The event also reflects a broader effort to reach teens before their first serious crash, not just after an injury case occurs. - Rue & Ziffra marked its 50th year, adding a milestone backdrop to the outreach effort.

What's next: - The current class series is already full, but the teen driving school website remains available for families interested in future safe-driving information. - Rue & Ziffra also directed readers to its community involvement page for more information about the release. - The firm will continue to lean on community partnerships tied to driver safety and accident prevention.
