National Teen Driver Safety Week

National Teen Driver Safety Week begins this Sunday and ends Saturday, November 1.  It has been proven that one of the major killers of teens between the ages of 14 and 18 is car crashes.  More specifically, the number one killer is distracted driving, such as texting while driving.  The original article states that parents are asked to talk to their children about safe driving using the "5 to Drive" rules. These rules are:

• No cell phones while driving
• No extra passengers
• No speeding
• No alcohol
• No driving or riding without a seat belt

It is important teens learn to put the technology away and drive safely from place to place.
