As Kylie mentions later in this issue, the statistics for young adult traffic deaths and injury are staggering. In fact, it is the leading cause of death for those between the ages of 15 and 25! Stemming this tide requires awareness of the facts and disciplined action on the part of parents, schools and government to effectively train new drivers.
In cooperation with The Network of Employers for Traffic Safety, AmeriFleet is proud to sponsor The Novice Driver Handbook. The handbook is one small but important step in raising awareness as well as providing a few tools to assist parents as they train their children to be safe citizens on our roads.
Please visit trafficsafety.org for further information on the handbook and take every opportunity to educate and train our young adult population on safe driving.
