Teen Crashes Are Preventable

Car crashes are the number one cause of death of our teens, and also the most preventable cause. How can we prevent teen crashes?
By working together (educators, parents, law enforcement, community members, teens) to spread the message that through education and awareness, teens can make safer decisions as drivers and passengers.
The National Safety Council (NSC) has created coalitions in 11 states to do just that, and Florida has one of the most successful coalitions!
Check out the tools that the NSC has on their website by going to http://www.nsc.org/learn/NSC-Initiatives/Pages/teen-driving.aspx?var=mnm
