National Teen Driver Safety Week
Sep 18, 2007

Focus:Safety
Action Request:Canvass
Location:United States
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for adolescents and young adults in the United States. The 110th Congress passed a resolution on September 5th to make the third week of October "National Teen Driver Safety Week" in order to increase public awareness of teen driving issues and promote safer driving by young adults.

http://thomas.loc.gov/home/gpoxmlc110/hc165_eh.xml

A national survey conducted by The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia showed "a national need to increase overall awareness about the safe use of electronic hand-held devices, the risk of nighttime and fatigued driving, the importance of consistent seatbelt use, and the practice of gradually increasing driver privileges over time as a young driver gains more experience under supervised conditions."

Please spread the word to friends, family and neighbors about the need to help our youngest drivers drive safer.

Here is the URL for the "Keeping Young Drivers Safe" program sponsored by The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia:

Most of us get frustrated whenever drivers slow down to gawk at an accident or someone getting a ticket (or a pretty lady holding up a sign for something). There have been explanations about why people do it: http://www.associatedcont ent.com/article/...
