\"Tips<\/a>It\u2019s that time of year when we send our kids back to school, and for the first time, some of them will be driving themselves — and maybe even siblings — to and from campus.<\/p>\n

Regardless of whether they\u2019re headed off to a college in another city or state, or just driving to the school across town, we\u00a0know you want your teen driver to be as safe as possible behind the wheel.<\/p>\n

\"Tips<\/a>National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data show motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers 14-18 years-old in the United States. In 2011, 2,105 teen drivers were involved in fatal crashes. Of those teens involved in fatal crashes, 1,163 (55%) survived, and 942 (45%) died in the crash.<\/p>\n

As parents, we play a key role in guiding our teen drivers by setting our own best example for improving safety while driving. With this in mind, the\u00a0NHTSA encourages awareness of the\u00a0\u201c5 to Drive\u201d<\/a>\u00a0initiative found at the safercar.gov Parents Central\/Teen Driving website.\u00a0 This campaign encourages parents to start conversations with their teenagers about safe driving by:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Discussing five critical driving practices with teens
\n\u2022 Reinforcing those habits as teens get comfortable behind the wheel
\n\u2022 Setting an example by being good role models<\/p>\n

“Inexperience and immaturity, combined with speed, drinking and driving, not wearing seat belts, distracted driving, and other teen passengers contribute to the high fatality rate of teens involved in fatal crashes,” said NHTSA Administrator David Strickland. “I encourage all parents of teenagers to have an open discussion with their teen about the dangers common among young drivers and to make sure they use our ‘5 To Drive’ program to develop the necessary skills to drive safely every trip, every time.”<\/p>\n

The numbers say it all: Dialing a phone while driving increases your risk of crashing by three times; texting while driving increases it by two times.<\/strong><\/b><\/h4>\n

In 2013, 3,154 people were killed in distracted driving crashes. While texting and dialing a phone are the most obvious distractions, talking, eating, and playing with the radio can also take your teen\u2019s attention away from driving. Visit\u00a0distraction.gov\u00a0to get more information.<\/p>\n

Cell phones aren\u2019t the only behind-the-wheel distraction \u2014 friends can unknowingly do more harm than good.<\/strong><\/b><\/h4>\n

Crash risks increase when teens drive with other teens in the car. According to NHTSA, teens are 2.5 times more likely to engage in risky behaviors when driving with one teenage passenger and three times more likely with multiple teenaged passengers. In fact, NHTSA analysis shows that the risk of a fatal crash increases in direct relation to the number of teenagers in the car.<\/p>\n

Be sure your teenager understands your state\u2019s\u00a0graduated driver licensing<\/a>\u00a0program passenger restrictions. And don\u2019t be afraid to enforce your own rules regarding extra riders.<\/p>\n

\nDon\u2019t
\nSpeed<\/strong><\/b><\/h2>\n

Speeding has pricey consequences, from a ticket to a crash. In fact, speeding was a factor in 35% of fatal crashes involving teen drivers in 2011, according to NHTSA.<\/strong><\/b><\/h4>\n

Most of us speed at one time or another. Why? Usually we\u2019re in a hurry and we think the laws don\u2019t apply to us. Most of the time, we don\u2019t think speeding is dangerous, and most people think they won\u2019t get caught. Unfortunately, it\u2019s the third leading contributing factor in traffic crashes after distracted driving and impaired driving. A 2012 study by the AAA Traffic Safety Foundation showed 52% of drivers said they had driven 15 mph over the speed limit on a freeway in the past month, and nearly one in four said they consider it acceptable to do so.<\/p>\n

According to information at Caddell Weiland<\/a>, speeding costs drivers in many ways. For every 5 mph over 60 mph you travel, you pay an extra 24 cents per gallon for gas. Americans have paid more than $6 billion in speeding fines. That\u2019s just fines; NHTSA<\/a> says the accidents themselves where speed is an issue cost society more than $40 billion annually.<\/p>\n

Teens are more likely than older drivers to speed and allow shorter headways (the distance from the front of one vehicle to the front of the next), according to CDC.gov<\/a>. It\u2019s especially dangerous to new drivers who just don\u2019t have the experience to process on-the-road emergencies.<\/p>\n

An analysis of crash data from 2000-2011 by TeenSafeDriver<\/a> show that speeding is one of the primary factors in fatal crashes involving young male and female drivers and is implicated in about a third of all such crashes. Half of fatal crashes involving 16-year-old drivers with three or more passengers are speeding-related.<\/p>\n

Teens are more likely to die in an alcohol-related crash than anyone else. <\/strong><\/b>In 2012, 23% of drivers aged 15 to 20 involved in fatal motor vehicle crashes were drinking.<\/strong><\/b><\/h4>\n

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for American teens. Talk with new drivers about the consequences, review stories of teens impacted by drunk driving, and remind them never to ride with someone who has been drinking.<\/p>\n

Even though all states have Zero Tolerance Laws for drinking and driving under age 21, according to CDC.gov, a national survey conducted in 2013 showed 22% of teens reported that they had ridden with a driver who had been drinking alcohol within the previous month. Among students who drove, 10% reported having driven after drinking alcohol within the same one-month period.<\/p>\n

According to NHTSA, alcohol involvement is higher among young male drivers than among young female drivers. In 2012, 25% of the young male drivers involved in fatal crashes had been drinking at the time of the crashes, compared with 15% of the young female drivers involved in fatal crashes.<\/p>\n

Clicking your seat belt takes a matter of seconds, and it\u2019s your best defense in an accident \u2014 not to mention it\u2019s the law. Yet, around 53% of teen drivers killed in car accidents are not wearing one.<\/strong><\/b><\/h4>\n

Compared with other age groups, teens have the lowest rate of seat belt use, according to CDC.gov<\/a>. In 2011, over half of the teen occupants of passenger vehicles who died in crashes were unrestrained. In 2013, only 55% of high school students reported they always wear seat belts when riding with someone else. Peer pressure is also a contributing factor in teen crash deaths: When the teen driver in a fatal crash was unrestrained, nearly all of that driver\u2019s teen passengers were also unrestrained.<\/p>\n

Poor decisions among teen drivers can lead to crashes and fatalities at any time of the day, but fatal teen driver crashes are most frequent between 3 and 8 p.m., and remain high until midnight and into morning.<\/strong><\/b><\/h4>\n

According to the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, 58% percent of teen crash deaths occur between 6 pm and 6 am. This is primarily due to a combination of the visibility challenges caused by dark conditions, slower response time brought about by fatigue, and a lack of experience driving under such conditions.<\/p>\n

Many states have graduated driver licensing programs<\/a> in place to limit the times of day that new drivers are allowed on the road. Consider limited driving on weekends as well: More than 50% of teen deaths from motor vehicle crashes\u00a0occurred on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
