While on the surface the statistics that I gave earlier in the month about Teen Driving look scary, the inroads that keep being made to keep our teens safe when driving are numerous. It was an encouraging thing to hear and see the different organizations in communities all across the country that are working towards implementing laws and educating parents and teens on driving safety.
