But when it comes to driving, good communication is one of the keys to avoiding dangerous consequences. Auto crashes are the number one killer of our nation's youth. Eight out of 10 teen auto fatalities occur when another teenager is driving. Licensed teenage drivers are involved in nearly 3 million auto crashes each year. At Liberty Mutual, we believe parents and teen drivers must work together through honest communication to reduce the risk of teen auto crashes and save lives.
Statistics show it's more than worth it.
Learning what causes crashes and the importance of safe driving habits is an important first step. Additionally, we have developed a video which is available free, on loan, from you local Liberty Mutual office. Both the video and this section include questions to help begin what we hope is an ongoing discussion on auto safety and the challenges faced by new drivers. Starting the dialogue may be difficult at first, but we encourage teens and parents to make the effort.
