Protecting Teen Drivers

March 03, 2005

Want to lessen your teen driver’s chances of an accident? Limit their passengers and enforce a curfew, says Utah State University Professor Tom Lee. Studies conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicate that risks for an unsupervised teenage driver increase with each teen passenger in the car. The studies also found that most fatal teen driving accidents occur between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
