Advancing the Future of Teen Driver Safety
The partnership is aimed at preparing teenagers to drive safely. The innovative assessment is based on the most serious crash scenarios and identifies specific deficits to provide a personalized feedback report. The report supports young drivers and their parents with safe driving tips, videos, and a comprehensive practice plan.
Research shows that 75 percent of young driver crashes are due to driver error. Identifying areas of concern and providing tools to develop safer driving skills before teens begin to drive independently is essential to reducing their crash risk.
The program is grounded in over a decade of young driver research which found high-quality, parent-supervised driving practice is crucial in reducing teen driver crash risk.
