Parents: motor vehicle crashes are the no.1 killer of teens 14-18 years old. Use this Teen Driver Safety Week to talk to your teens.
Only 25% of parents talk to their teens about driving safely. Talk to your teens today about what safe driving really means.
We’re joining with @NHTSAgov to encourage parents: set the rules before they hit the road with “5 to Drive”.

In 2011, about 2,650 teens in the United States aged 16–19 were killed and almost 292,000 were treated in emergency departments for injuries suffered in motor-vehicle crashes.1 That means that seven teens ages 16 to 19 died every day from motor vehicle injuries.
Young people ages 15-24 represent only 14% of the U.S. population. However, they account for 30% ($19 billion) of the total costs of motor vehicle injuries among males and 28% ($7 billion) of the total costs of motor vehicle injuries among females.3
