Teen Fatality Crashes Up 10 Percent

Teen involved crash fatalities increased 10 percent in 2015, according to a new report from the Governor’s Highway Safety Association.
Distracted driving is the number one cause of teen driver crashes and teen passengers are the number one distraction for teen drivers.
AAA suggests teen passengers avoid unnecessary conversations, don’t pull the driver’s attention from the road, silence phone notifications and navigate and stay alert to help the driver avoid danger.
AAA also recommends that parents get involved as their teens learn to drive by helping them practice in varying conditions, enrolling them in a drivers education program, and setting a good example behind the wheel.
