In the U.S., vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for 15 to 19 year-olds.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"LEFT\">The most common danger for teens is distracted driving due to cell phone usage. Distractions increase the risk of crashes and death. Many states have implemented distracted driving laws; however, 1\/3 of teens admit to texting or emailing while driving. 19% of the distracted drivers under the age of 20 who were involved in fatal crashes were using their cell phones.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"LEFT\">Parents and teens can sit down together, discuss safe driving habits, and then establish solid rules and limitations before your teen is allowed to adventure out on his\/her own. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) created a &#8220;Parent-Teen Driving Agreement&#8221; that puts such rules into writing. This agreement can be downloaded at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/parentsarethekey\"><span lang=\"EN\">www.cdc.gov\/parentsarethekey<\/span><\/a><span lang=\"EN\"> Go over the agreement with your teen driver, discuss consequences with them and above all, set a good example while behind the wheel.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.racinelaw.net\/blog\/national-teen-driver-safety-week-ntdsw-october-16-22-2016\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading National Teen Driver Safety Week (NTDSW) \u2013 October 16 \u2013 22, 2016\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those with teen-aged drivers in your household or extended family, National Teen Driver Safety Week is approaching on October 16 \u2013 22, 2016.
