Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsiblity: Tuesday #gno Twitter Party

#gno featured

Did you know that October 19-25, 2014 is National Teen Driver Safety Week? The IKnowEverything program inspires conversations between parents and teens around safe driving behaviors.

Developed to prepare teens to be safe behind the wheel, IKnowEverything is an integrated effort that highlights the issues of underage drinking and driving and distracted driving, and reiterates to parents that they have the most influence on their teen’s driving behaviors.

While some progress has been made in recent years regarding teen driver safety, Responsibility.org wants to help continue this positive movement:

  • Motor vehicle crashes remain the number one killer of teens age 15 to 20, even though underage drinking and drunk driving among teens is down across the nation.
  • Even though it is illegal for people under 21 to drink any alcohol and drive, one-third of all teen drivers killed in vehicle crashes had a .01 BAC or higher in 2011.
  • Everyone shares the road—teens, adults, law enforcement, first responders—and we believe this education effort will save lives, making the roads safer for all.

Driving is more complicated than just learning the rules of the road or knowing statistics. Talking through scenarios with your teen in advance is one important step towards building good driving behaviors and empowering your teen.
