A FREE Teen Driver Event Hosted by AAA
Pumping the Brakes on Unsafe Teen Driving Habits
WHY:
To raise awareness during National Teen Driver Safety Week, October 20-26, 2024. The event aims to educate and empower parents and teens with the skills needed to promote safe driving habits.
The Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data indicates that traffic crashes are a leading cause of death for 15-20-year-olds. Young drivers in Georgia who died in traffic crashes decreased by 12% from 218 in 2021 to 192 in 2022. While the numbers appear to be trending in the right direction, motor vehicle crashes remain the leading cause of death for drivers aged 15-19; therefore, advocating on behalf of teen driver safety remains a top priority for AAA.
WHO:
In partnership with the Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, Traffic Safety Partners, and School Districts. All participants will be available for media interviews.
WHERE:
Fulton County Innovation Academy
125 Milton Ave.
Alpharetta, GA
