🚗 Safe Driving Starts Before You Hand Over the Keys!
October 18–24 is National Teen Driver Safety Week! Did you know that teen drivers have a fatal crash rate per mile driven nearly 3 TIMES HIGHER than drivers ages 20 and older?
Building safe driving habits early can make a difference, and parents and caregivers play an important role!
