Safe Teen Driving Week Approaches
Connecticut’s Teen Safe Driving Week is Dec. 4-10, Melody A. Currey, commissioner of the state’s Department of Motor Vehicls, announced today two initiatives to improve safety and training for teen drivers.
The DMV for the first time will include safety warnings for parents in its laws and training brochure for 16- and 17-year-old drivers. It also plans to strengthen requirements for people at driving schools who train other driving instructors.
“Both of these are strong initiatives aimed at the core issue of safety behind the wheel. We want parents to know issues to watch for and we want to ensure driving instructors are trained by experienced individuals,” Currey said.
Connecticut has annually marked its own Safe Teen Driving Awareness week in December for the last several years. It is championed by !MPACT, officially known as Mourning Parents Act, Inc., an organization of families and friends of teens who have died in car crashes.
The revised laws and training brochure, which had only included laws, training requirements and penalty information, is now expanded to include parent safety tips. Members of the newly formed Commissioner’s Advisory Committee on Teen Safe Driving recommended that direct messages to parents were need to enhance safety precautions that parents might not have considered.
