How important is it to raise awareness about Teen Driver Safety? ?
|
This week is the Second Annual National Teen Driver Safety Week. In 2006, 3,490 15- to 20-year-old drivers died and an additional 272,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes, according to National Highway Traffic Safety. Motor vehicle crashes are the No.1 cause of death among teens in the U.S.
At State Farm, we are doing what we can to help parents with teen drivers. State Farm, together with The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, conducted a comprehensive study regarding teens and driving. We think this study will help parents better understand the issues teenagers face and help them better communicate to their teens. The results of the study are available at: http://www.statefarm.com/_pdf/teen_drivers_research_report.pdf
Besides the following State Farm website designed just for parents with teen drivers, http://www.betterteendriving.com, what sources do you recommend to help parents with teen drivers?
(FYI: State Farm is currently gathering insights from people to help them around what we call “I’m there” moments such as teen driving. Once we compile the information, we will share with the Yahoo community for further feedback.)

I believe it is very important to alert communities about Teen Driver safety. I think that in these days, the media has become so adult oriented that many have put the teens, and even children to the background. I think that many of the teen deaths can be decreased by simple intervention. One reason why so many deaths occur is because the teens involved in the accidents are not prepared for driving as they should be. The driving classes along with taking the tests are simply not enough. What needs to be done is to have every parent or guardian take full responsibility making sure the teens are aware of the rules of the road, and the consequences of driving careless. Also the awareness should be raised about increased deaths of drunken driving. That is still an issue. It is not enough to hand them a license. Its just a verification saying they have learned what they need to to drive. But it cannot replace more time with parents or guardians who can help them make good choices on the road. Intervention can save lives and it should be enforced.
Edit: And those stats that you provided only support the fact that there is indeed a problem and there are ways to combat these issues by providing each team the right amount of training. |

Very important or they could just raise the age and take the license from those younger. Instant stop. |
