🚗 Summer Safety Tip: Teen Drivers

Summer often means more time with friends, later nights, and more time on the road. Did you know that the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day are the most dangerous for teen drivers? More passengers, distractions, nighttime driving, and impaired driving can all increase risk behind the wheel.

Whether you're heading to the beach, grabbing ice cream, or driving home after spending time with friends, a few simple choices can make all the difference: buckle up, put the phone away, and never drive impaired or ride with someone who is.

Parents, a simple conversation before your teen leaves the house can also make all the difference. Make sure they know they can always call you if they feel unsafe and need a ride home.

The best summer nights end with everyone getting home safe.

Before your teen heads out this Fourth of July...

The Fourth of July is a time to celebrate with family and friends, but it can also bring increased opportunities for underage drinking.

Parents and caregivers play one of the biggest roles in helping teens make healthy choices. Before the celebrations begin:

✔️ Set clear expectations about alcohol.
✔️ Know where your teen will be and who they’ll be with.
✔️ Check in throughout the day or evening.
✔️ Remember that your own choices and attitudes around alcohol matter. Teens are always watching and learning from the adults around them.

Research consistently shows that parents have more influence than they often realize. A few minutes of conversation before your teen heads out can make a lasting difference.

Wishing everyone a fun, safe, and healthy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸
