October 20-26 is National Teen Driver Safety Week. It’s a great time to remind parents that they can do more than worry about their teen drivers, that there are constructive and active steps they can take to help launch their teen into a lifetime of safe and responsible driving.
We’re providing a fact sheet and sample social media you can use to help get the word out. Our infographic provides an “at-a-glance” tip sheet for parents. You can also download and use the videos on you website or in your social media.
With more than 100 young people perishing on our roads every year it’s important we encourage and support parents as they help their teens learn safe driving. We hope you will help us spread the word!
