Jeff's Lesson for Life

“If I could just have you think for a second, ‘what if’? Maybe instead of accelerating to 75 miles per hour, you will accelerate to 35 or 40. Then you've saved something, you may have even saved a life.”

In 2001, more than 4,700 teens ages 16 to 19 died of injuries caused by motor vehicle crashes (CDC 2003).

Crash risk is particularly high during the first years that teenagers are eligible to drive

Teens are more likely than older drivers to underestimate the dangers in hazardous situations, and they have less experience coping with such situations
