It's not just about experience, it's experience plus peers in the car. That combo is exactly what makes the "100 Deadliest Days" (Memorial Day to Labor Day) so dangerous for teen drivers.

The numbers don't lie: fatal teen crashes jump about 30% during these summer months. Why? One teen passenger doubles the risk of a fatal crash. Two or more? It quadruples.

Peer pressure and distraction turn an already risky learning curve into a life-or-death gamble.

Talk to your teen. Set passenger limits. Reinforce the rules before they hit the road this summer.

Because saving lives means driving a higher standard. 💜

Your teen's driver's education doesn't begin when they get a learner's permit....it begins with you.

This fall, we're releasing a book designed to help parents become confident coaches, teammates, and advocates throughout their teen's driving journey. Inside, you'll find expert guidance, proven strategies, and practical tools to help your family build safe driving habits from day one.

Together, we can help prepare the next generation of safer, more confident drivers.

As parents, we're our teen's very first driving instructor even years before they ever sit behind the wheel.

Every trip to school, the grocery store, or team practice is a lesson. They're watching how we handle distractions, whether we buckle up, follow the speed limit, leave enough space between vehicles, use our turn signals, and stay calm when traffic gets frustrating.

The good news? That means we have countless opportunities to build safe driving habits before they ever earn a permit.

The safest teen drivers start with great examples. What driving habit are you making sure your teen sees every time you get behind the wheel?

At the Center for Advanced Driving Research Foundation, we’re focused on one goal: improving the way teen drivers are trained, supported, and prepared for real-world roads.

Not just passing tests.
Not just checking boxes.
But building safer, more capable drivers from the start.

We’ve spent years studying what actually reduces risk behind the wheel and we're bringing that knowledge directly to teens and their parents around the country.

More coming soon for parents who want to be part of that change. Follow us and stay tuned!
