National Teen Driver Safety Week
National Teen Driver Safety Week (NTDSW) is a time designated by Congress each year to raise awareness of teen driver safety topics and to encourage safe teen driver and passenger behavior. The theme for 2011 was supporting parents in teaching their teens to drive. This includes helping them navigate the practice driving phase, as well as when their teens begin driving on their own. Fostering this bond translates to an increase in teen driver safety. According to research conducted by The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and State Farm Insurance Companies®, teens who say their parents set rules and monitor their driving in a helpful, supportive way are half as likely to crash and twice as likely to buckle up as teens with less involved parents.
For ideas on how to get involved and for more information on this important week, which will take place October 14 to 20, 2012, visit teendriversource.org.
