One of the most important safety features for your teen driver is YOU.

Many parents don’t realize it, but the #1 threat to their teen’s safety is driving or riding in a car with a teen driver.

The fact is, more than 2,300 teens lost their lives in car crashes in 2015. That’s six teens a day too many. The main cause? Driver inexperience.
