How one mistake behind the wheel can change your life forever... Traumatic Brain Injury

Brain Injury is unpredictable and so are its consequences. It can affect who we are, the way we think, act and feel. It can change everything about us in a matter of seconds…

TBI is a blow or jolt to the head that disrupts the function of the brain. --Brain Injury Association

Motor vehicle traffic crashes make up 20% of TBI cases

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in the U.S.

Males are about 1.5 times as likely as females to sustain a TBI * Source – Centers for Disease Control & Prevention

Even bright, mature teenagers sometimes do irresponsible things But it’s not entirely their fault The brain doesn’t finish developing until the early 20’s

PREVENTION AND EDUCATION ARE KEY

Driver education is CRITICAL! Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) laws have been proven effective at reducing teen crashes. Driver education works better when it is coupled with GDL laws.

Don't drive like you own the road. Drive like you own the car.
