Car crashes are a leading cause of teen death nationwide. In the state of Utah, it’s the fourth common killer.
Newer drivers are often inexperienced, which means they are more likely to make critical mistakes and more susceptible to distractions.
Before teens get their license in Utah, they must complete a series of tests, including more than 40 hours of supervised driving. But the learning starts even before they get behind the wheel. Laurel-Ann Attaway, a member of Students Against Destructive Decisions National Student Leadership Council says, “Parents are very vital in this process because they really are the key informants to kids on distracted driving, staying safe on the roads and just informed driving.”
The NRSF encourages parents to talk to their children about impaired and distracted driving, seat belts, speed, extra passengers and other dangers to ensure teens know the responsibility they take on when they hit the road. Talking about these things might also lower any nerves or fears they may have.
For resources on how to talk with teens about safe driving, the NRSF offers a Passport to Safe Driving course, available free online.
