What parents can do to keep teen drivers safe on the road
National Teen Driver Safety Week is aiming in preventing crashes involving teens and getting their parents to learn more about ways to keep their teens safe on the road.
NTDSW is from Sunday, October 21, to Saturday, October 27.
In the United States, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens. In 2016, more than 2,400 teens (ages 16 to 19) lost their lives in car crashes.
That’s six teens every day.
Parents are one of the most essential safety features for teen drivers and can discuss the rules of the road with their teen, including why they are important to follow and consequences for breaking them.
They can also create a Parent-Teen Driving Agreement that puts these rules in writing to set clear expectations and limits.
