Why these programs matter:
According to the NHTSA, teen drivers are most often involved in crashes due to inexperience and risk-taking. Teens are also three times more likely to engage in risky behavior when driving with multiple passengers.
In 2023 alone:
• 2,611 people were killed in crashes involving teen drivers nationwide
• 87,074 teens ages 15–18 were injured in crashes
Here in Missouri, SaveMOLives reports (preliminary) that in 2023:
• 133 people were killed in teen-driver-related crashes
• 47% of teens were speeding or driving too fast for conditions at the time of the crash
• 77% of teens killed were not wearing a seat belt
• 21 teens could have survived had they been buckled up
Together, education, experience, and responsible choices can make the difference. Let’s work as a community to keep our teens safe on the road.
