Safe driving is everyone's responsibility. Consider that over half of all motor vehicle accidents could be avoided if drivers would just make intelligent driving decisions. Teenagers are most at risk because they may not have the experience or maturity to be able to consider the consequences of their actions. Teens and their parents should take a few moments to review the following information. 5,000 teenagers die each year from auto accidents.
Alcohol is responsible for almost half of all teen motor vehicle deaths.
In one year, drivers 19 and under were involved in close to 3 million motor vehicle accidents. The price of a bad decision can include injury to yourself or others, loss of life, loss of life style or loss of personal freedom. While no one has full control over the circumstances surrounding a motor vehicle accident, there are things that can be done to reduce your chances of being the cause or being involved in one. If you assume that other drivers are not as skilled and thoughtful as you are, you will instinctively become more careful and cautious when on the road. Try not to speed.
