January is Teen Driving Awareness Month. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2020, 2,276 people were killed in the United States in crashes involving a teen driver. Moreover, 52% of teen passenger vehicle drivers who died in 2020 were unbuckled.
Parents, you have more influence on your teens than you think. Set a good example for young drivers by practicing safe driving and talking to them about the dangers of drug and alcohol use.
