National Teen Driver Safety Week

This week is National Teen Driver Safety week.  This week, remind the teen in your life about the important rules they should follow to stay safe behind the wheel. 

The greatest dangers for teen drivers are alcohol, inconsistent or no seat belt use, distracted driving, drowsy driving, speeding, and having passengers that can cause distractions.

Motor vehicle accidents are the #1 cause of teenage deaths in the United States.  Informing your teen on the dangers of driving, and going over safe practices while driving could save lives.  Take the time this week to address the greatest dangers for teens while operating a motor vehicle, and how those dangers can be prevented.
