Getting a driver’s license is a rite of passage for teenagers, but it also marks the start of their most dangerous years on the road. Teen drivers have much higher crash rates than adults. Fortunately, there are ways parents can help to reduce the risks. This video highlights the stories of three teens whose lives ended too soon and examines common factors such as inexperience, immaturity, and speeding that lead to many crashes involving young, novice drivers.

Teens interviewed speak frankly about their driving habits. They recount crashes and near misses. They describe minding their manners when grown-ups are along for the ride but relaxing the rules when they’re with friends.

Institute experts provide insight into the crucial role parents play by enforcing their state’s graduated licensing laws, establishing their own rules, and providing plenty of supervised time behind the wheel.

    Be safe when you are this young. Car crash statistics dont lie. You are 3x more likely to get into a crash at 16-17 vs when you are 20-24.
