Be a responsible parent: educate your teens about traffic safety

According to the report by the American Automobile Association (AAA) Foundation for Traffic Safety, 15 to 17 year-old drivers are twice as likely to kill people other than themselves in the fatal traffic accidents. While being a good role model to teens by following the traffic safety rules is important, talking to your teens and educating them on traffic safety and driving in general can go a long way in preventing the serious injuries or even death of the teens and those who might be affected by the teens' driving.

These are impotant statistics to take note of.  Please see my library article, Teach your childeren well:  on some ways you as a parent can help your teen be a safer driver.
