Why Under YOUR Influence?
• Traffic crashes are the number one cause of death for teens.
• Each year, more than 5,000 youth are killed in traffic crashes.
• Teens need to be under the influence of YOU when they’re learning to drive.
• Getting through to your teen can be tough, but research tells us that teens listen to their parents and that YOU influence YOUR teen's driving habits.
