  5. SCARY RIGHT? • In New York, every year, the equivalent of about three high school classrooms, or 73 teens ranging from 15-19, are killed in car accidents. • Male teens are at greater risk of being fatally injured in a crash than females. • Teens are more likely to be seriously injured in a crash if another teen is driving.

  6. Ways to determine a good/bad driver • Are they mature enough to safely take on the responsibility of driving? • Who will teach them to drive? • Do you or another licensed person have the time to supervise his/her driving?
