Parent's of Teen Drivers-It's Summer and You Need to Read and Share These Facts with your Teen Drivers!

Car crashes are the No. 1  killer of teens in America.  Crashes cause far more teen deaths each year than homicide, suicide, cancer and drugs.

On average, nearly eight teens die each day in car crashes Teen motor vehicle crash deaths in 2012 occurred most frequently from 9 p.m. to midnight

Summer is the deadliest season for teens on the road

Teen drivers have a crash rate three times those of drivers 20 years and older per mile driven.

Do I have your attention? 

We as parents need to educate our children on the risks of driving to help them be more prepared while driving on the roadways.  Last week one of our Teen Drivers had a fender bender and he was at fault.  He readily took the blame and vowed to learn from his mistakes.  In this case the lesson learned is to watch the road and maintain a safe distance between you and the car in front of you.

Allstate Insurance & Encompass Insurance have put together a two page flyer that you can open on your computer or print to review with your Teens.  We can’t put a bubble around our children but we can arm them with knowledge and take the time to reinforce that knowledge on a regular basis.  Print the flyer at the link below or just follow to view online.

Have a great and safe summer!
