Restrictions on Teen Drivers

I'm Amanda Mills and I've been a YOVASO member fortwo years now. I think it's good that we have specific laws for teen drivers. If teens didn't have rules to follow, there would be a lot more fatal crashes. A teen only being allowed to have one passenger in the car is good because it won't distract the driver. Cell phones and radios are also a huge distraction for young drivers. If they take their eyes and attention off driving, they could esily cause a crash. You might have been expecting me to say accident, but our YOVASO leaders have taught us to call them crashes because they're not really accidents because they are preventable and predictable.

A lot of teens don't realize how easy it is to get into a crash and how serious it can be. One mistake could make you loose your life, or end someone else's life. I always try to remember that we loose 14 teens a day, 415 a month, and 5,000 a year to car crashes. There are so many distractions in a car, by eliminating a few you can save lives. Thanks for listening, but more importantly you need to Do your part! Drive Smart!!
