Happy National Teen Driver Safety Week (NTDSW)! Today we are with David Strickland, the Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at a 10 a.m. (EST) press conference at the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The event officially kicks off a week of activities that aim to start dialogues about teen driver safety amongst families, in schools, and in communities. NTDSW is now in its seventh year.
At the press event:
NHTSA is announcing its “5 to Drive” campaign that encourages parents to talk to their teens about 5 risky driving behaviors.
CIRP@CHOP is talking about the research and action around this year's theme: It Takes Two -- Shared Expectations for Teens and Parents for Driving.
Let us know how you're talking about teen driver safety with your families, schools and communities. Tweet to @safetymd #teendriving2013 or post to Facebook.
Thank you for all you are doing to keep teen driver safety on everyone's minds during this special week and throughout the year!
