Following criticism of our teen vehicle recommendations, IIHS's Sarah Karush provides her own perspective as a mother and explores why it's so important to give realistic advice to parents of teen drivers.

"The crashworthiness improvements of recent years have resulted in particularly big benefits to women. We need to speed up this progress while being careful not to derail it," write IIHS's Jessica Jermakian.

A recent IIHS study found similar results – modern crash testing has done a good job of closing this gap. However, more work is needed to understand why women are still at elevated risk of leg injuries in crashes, and how that can be addressed. https://t.co/jLsnQLOdaQ

@IIHS_autosafety @BillNye @NSTA It was a thrill! 😁 We enjoyed talking about the science of the crash between the 1959 Bel Air (behind us) and the 2009 Malibu. See the crash at https://t.co/0Y3bwF22Xb

#DistractedDriving is a big problem and an old one. People keep inventing new ways to become distracted behind the wheel.

Adrian Lund, who retired from IIHS-HLDI in 2017, very likely owes his life to the vehicle safety improvements he helped usher in.

🎥 Our dummies don't just roll out of bed looking this good. An important step in crash test prep is applying greasepaint to the dummies to help identify where contact is made with vehicle surfaces during the crash.

@oconnell_ms @IIHS_autosafety Thanks for sharing! More videos of students testing their crash cushions are found in the Teacher Notes of https://t.co/pQIqcGcmR1

[IIHS @IIHS_autosafety]

Great to see students in @C6H12O6Addict 's class learning about the dangers of distracted driving through the IIHS-HLDI in the Classroom material.

Find that lesson (and others from instructor @JonesGriff) right here ⬇️

@GrownandFlown @IIHS_autosafety @TeamAPCIA Teens and their teachers can learn how to test and calculate their reaction time with this hands-on science lesson at https://t.co/mNyyDp6RF8

[Grown and Flown @GrownandFlown]

Teen drivers struggle with recognizing and avoiding hazards, judging following distance and turn gaps. This excellent new guide from @IIHS_autosafety and @TeamAPCIA has safety tips in one place + advice on what to look for in a first car. https://t.co/NDtlgFgZUy

@zornscience @IIHS_autosafety Congratulations Angie and Celso on building crashworthy vehicles for the Paper Car Crash Challenge!

[Griff Jones @JonesGriff]

@IIHS_autosafety For a fun, educational activity on the dangers of distracted driving for grades 7-12 go to https://t.co/h6KxZhaFWZ

[IIHS @IIHS_autosafety]

Cell phone use isn't the only distracting behavior that people engage in behind the wheel. Eating, drinking, adjusting the radio and even talking to a passenger can all be distracting.
