Teen Driver Safety

Any parent will tell you one of the most terrifying moments comes when there is a new driver in the house - the teenager! And for good reason. About 10 teens died each day in motor vehicle crashes in the U.S. in 2009.

But there is good news for parents - Graduated Driver Licensing

The best part about GDL is that parents can rest assured knowing that it has been developed based on a decade of research. That's why many states have implemented GDL laws. These best practices in novice driver training have been proven to save lives.

Even if GDL isn't a law in your state, it can be a law in your home. By introducing your new driver to risks and hazards they face behind the wheel gradually, you significantly reduce their chance of getting into a motor vehicle crash.
