Drive Right: Teen Safe Driving

When you think of driving, what words, ideas, or phrases come to mind? fun cars expensive responsibility convenient friends Luxury? Danger?

About how many teenagers in America die every day from car crashes? a. 1-3b. 4-5 c. 7-9 d Teenagers are more likely to get into crashes when: a.They are new drivers. b.They are driving with teenage passengers c.They are speeding d.D. All of the above. 3. What is the leading cause of death of teens in America?

Quiz yourself 5.Which months of the year are the deadliest for teens on the road? a. June-Augb. Dec-Janc. March-May 6. What time of day are most teens injured or killed in crashes? a. 6-8am b. 9pm-midnightc. 4-6pm 4. About what percentage of teen car accidents are the result of alcohol? a. 10 b. 15 c. 25 d. 65

Recent data shows that nearly 8 teens die each day in car crashes. That means that more teens die in car crashes than from cancer, drugs, violence, or any other cause of death. Over 70% of teen car crashes are due to driver error, which means they are preventable.

The crash rate for 16-year-olds is 3.7 times higher than drivers of all ages. WHY?

(failure to scan the road and react appropriately) Distracted Driving Identify some common distractions Inexperience...Combined with...

The most common forms of distraction leading up to a crash by a teen driver include: Interacting with one or more passengers: 15 percent of crashes Cell phone use: 12 percent of crashes Looking at something in the vehicle: 10 percent of crashes Looking at something outside the vehicle: 9 percent of crashes Singing/moving to music: 8 percent of crashes Grooming: 6 percent of crashes Reaching for an object: 6 percent of crashes Common Distractions:

Males: Teenage males are twice as likely to get into a fatal crash than teenage females (they tend to drive faster and more aggressively). Who is most at risk? Among teen drivers, those at especially high risk for motor vehicle crashes are:

Teens driving with teen passengers: The presence of teen passengers increases the crash risk of teen drivers. The more friends in your car, the more likely you are to get in an accident. Newly licensed teens: Crash risk is particularly high during the first year that teenagers are eligible to drive. (this is why many states have adopted a graduated licensing process)

Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) Laws Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) programs allow young drivers to safely gain driving experience before obtaining full driving privileges. Most programs include three stages: (details vary from state to state) – Learner Stage: supervised driving, culminating with a driving test – Intermediate Stage: limiting unsupervised driving in high risk situations – Full Privilege Stage: a standard driver's license

Your State’s GDL Law To find your state’s GDL law, visit: se_laws.html Most states restrict passengers, nighttime driving, and cell phone use during the intermediate phase.

Video clips Addressing the 3 largest distractions for teens: Cell phones. Friends. Speed

CELL PHONES

Cell Phones

Cause and Effect Who is affected by your choice?

CELL PHONES 1.Anything that takes your MIND off driving, HANDS off the wheel, or EYES off the road is a distraction. 2.Drivers using a cell phone are 4-23 times more likely to cause a crash. (4= talking; 23= texting) 3. The impairment caused by texting while driving is equal to that of someone with a.08 percent blood alcohol level. 4. Texting drivers spend up to 10% of their time outside of their lane.

CELL PHONE LAWS 14 states prohibit all drivers from using hand-held cell phones while driving. 38 states ban all cell phone use by novice drivers. 44 states outlaw text messages while driving.

FRIENDS

Friends

FRIENDS 1.For 16 and 17 year old drivers, adding one teen passenger to a car increases their risk of being killed in a crash by 44%. The risk doubles with 2 teen passengers, and quadruples with 3 or more. 1.Extra passengers often result in teens driving more aggressively and can have serious consequences.

SPEEDING

Speeding

SPEEDING 1.Speeding is a factor in 1 out of every 3 teen fatal accidents. 1.The human brain doesn’t fully mature in its ability to recognize cause and effect/consequences until age 25, making young drivers more likely to take risks. 3. The faster you drive, the harder it is to avoid a crash, and the greater the force of impact.

SEAT BELTS: -Nearly 50% of teen drivers and 61% of teen passengers that were in fatal motor-vehicle crashes were not wearing a seat belt. -Seat belts should be worn during every ride, no matter how short (and make sure your passengers buckle up too-- unrestrained bodies can cause significant harm to other passengers in the event of a crash).
