National Teen Driver Safety Week, held this year from October 20-26, 2024, is a good time to talk about the risks young drivers face on the road. Now in its 17th year, this week is dedicated to raising awareness and finding solutions to prevent teen injuries and fatalities caused by car accidents. As parents, we certainly want to make the roads safer for our teens, which is why it’s important to understand the unique challenges teen drivers face—and how we can contribute to reducing those risks through education.
