Did you know?

A major threat to your teen's safety is driving or riding in a car with a teen driver. According to the CDC the fact is, almost 2,400 teens aged 13-19 lost their lives in car crashes in 2019. That is seven teens a day too many. And the main cause is driver inexperience. As parents you can play an important role towards reducing young people car crashes and keeping your teens a live.

The following are ways you can help keep teens safe on the road:

• Be a role model
• Know the laws in your state
• Set specific rules
• Enforce strict penalties
• Take your teen on the road
• Contact the doctor if your teen is taking medicine
• Check out the car
• Make the tough decisions
• Know the eight danger zones
• Create a Parents-teen driving agreement

If you expect your teen to drive safely you need to drive safely too.
