Parents and caregivers: Parenting is full of “nevers.” This is one we can hold onto together: never leave a child in the car, not even for “just this once.”
Teens, you have so much ahead of you.
Graduation. Your first job. Life milestones.
Nearly 30% of traffic deaths involve speeding. The faster you go, the greater the risk and the deadlier the consequences.
Don’t rush to get there - no destination is worth risking your future.
Babysitting? STOP. LOOK. LOCK all vehicles every time. Check the back seat before leaving your vehicle. Never leave children alone in a car for even one minute. Always lock your car so no kids get in without you seeing. As temps rise, the heat is deadly to all little ones.
Summer gives teens more freedom—and more time behind the wheel.
Remind young drivers to put the phone away, stay focused and keep their eyes on the road.
Let's make these the 100 Safest Days of Summer.

Every year, approximately 2,883 lives are lost due to fatal crashes involving teen drivers, accounting for about 7% of all fatalities on U.S. roads. 🚗💔 Let's work together to promote safe driving habits. #BuckleUp#100SafestDaysofSummer
Tip # 4: Confidence…Instill self-confidence in your teen by talking with them about peer pressure. At some point, your teen will be offered alcohol. As the National Institutes of Health points out, “teens say they prefer quick ‘one-liners’ that allow them to dodge a drink without making a big scene.”

#100SafestDays Speeding doesn't save time. It increases risk.
For teen drivers, a few extra miles per hour can mean the difference between a close call and a tragedy.
Slow down. Your future is waiting for you.

#100SafestDays Parents: Talk to your teen about speeding before someone else has to.
Teen drivers are still developing the skills needed to recognize and respond to hazards. Speeding reduces reaction time and increases the severity of every mistake.
One conversation today could save a life tomorrow.
