Many parents don't realize it, but a major threat to their teen's safety is driving or riding in a car with a teen driver.
About 2,800 teens 13–19 years of age lost their lives in car crashes in 2020. That's about eight teens a day.
Parents Are the Key materials can help parents, pediatricians, and communities keep teen drivers safe on the road.
