Teens Too Distracted to Drive

An intriguing article made national news this week on MSNBC about teen drivers. It stated that teens are too distracted to drive, not through alcohol or drug abuse, but by passengers, cell phone usage and fatigue. While alcohol and drug-related crashes are down, our teen death toll still continues to rise each year.

And if the article weren't enough, it also has an eye-opening video of a family whose life has forever changed because of one night that cost them their 17-year old son. So I ask, "Why would any parent want to endure this pain? Why not prevent crashes from happening instead of believing your teen is invincible on the road?" When we realize that it starts with us, the parents of these teens, only then will we be able to truly start making a difference.
