There is an astounding disconnect between believing that teen driving is an endowed right, and the reality that when they are involved in a fatal collision, young drivers are at fault 75% of the time. The top three culprits are speeding, driving while impaired, and distracted driving all of which are the result of attitudes and behaviors.
For many years, traffic safety education has focused on the goal of creating safe drivers. Looking back, we see this can unwittingly result in dangerous driver complacency, stemming from the misplaced belief that it is the training and license that makes a student a “certified” safe driver.
