Smart Safety: National Teen Driver Safety Week

It’s one of the biggest milestones in a teen’s life – getting his or her driver’s license. However, this step toward independence and freedom also means a greater responsibility for you and your teen. As part of National Teen Driver Safety Week, which runs from October 15-21, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is urging parents to start a conversation about safety with their teen driver. Let your young driver know that obeying the rules of the road is a prerequisite for the privilege of driving.
If you're unsure of where to start, what driving patterns are riskiest for teens, or just want some general information about teen driving, join us as we partner with the NIOSH Center for Motor Vehicle Safety for a #TeenDriver Twitter Chat. We'll have experts available to answer your questions. Make sure to use the hashtag #TeenDriver and tag us @NHTSAgov. Teen driving affects everyone on the road, so if you have a teen in your life, it's the perfect place to gather information, or serve as a reminder to talk to your teens daily about the importance of safety behind the wheel. 
Who: NHTSA and NIOSH Center for Motor Vehicle Safety
What: #TeenDriver 
When: Wednesday, October 18, 2017, 3-4 p.m. ET
