well Gillett to students at Key West
High School Tuesday. Gillett spoke
to the students on teen-age driving
and showed them a film in an
effort to encourage safe driving by
teen-agerS.
Being aware that teen-agers have
the highest accident rate, and that
insurance rates may 20 up from
$40 or $50 to $50 or $120 when a
teen-ager is allowed to drive the
family car, many Florida schools
are trying to improve this situa.
ton with drivers training courses.
In the past year, he added, the
teen-agers' record has improved in
Florida, one of the few states
where 1t did. Credit for this i'm
provement is given to the training
courses and to student safety
councils.
Patrolman Gillett said he hoped
it would not be too long before
the High School here had a train
