Summer travel brings families and young drivers onto increasingly crowded roads. Along with the joys of vacations and celebrations, it also comes with risks—heavy traffic, unpredictable weather, and unfortunately, tragic accidents.
Recently, a major highway accident underscored just how vulnerable young drivers can be. A collision between a teen driver and a family traveling in a minivan resulted in devastating consequences, with only one survivor. Incidents like this serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of preparing teens with more than just the basics of driver’s education.
Real-world, hands-on driving experience is critical to building the confidence and skills young drivers need to stay safe behind the wheel. Programs designed specifically for teens provide training in their own vehicles and help prepare them for unexpected challenges on the road.
