Nationwide, more than 8,300 people died in crashes involving teen drivers 🚗 from 2008 to 2018 during the “100 “Deadliest Days” of summer!
Parents, don’t forget: Teach by example, and minimize risky behavior when 🚙
Teen drivers are 2.5x more likely to engage in one or more potentially risky behaviors when driving with one teenage peer, compared to when driving alone. Parents: Establish rules about who and how many can ride with your teen:

We couldn’t agree more!
SLOW DOWN. Drivers tend to overestimate time saved by speeding. You’d have to travel 100 miles to save roughly 5 minutes, moving 75 mph instead of 70 mph.
SPEED KILLS and isn’t worth the cost. ⚰️
