Clark County Health Department Reminds Parents to Keep Teens Safe on the Roads

Wednesday, May 26th, 2021 -- 9:00 AM

Sadly, car crashes involving teen drivers increase between Memorial Day and Labor Day, known as the “100 Deadliest Days”.

The Clark County Health Department reminds caregivers that they can take simple steps to keep their teens safe on the road this summer. First, set aside 20 minutes with your teen to watch a free online module that reviews Wisconsin’s Graduated Driver Licensing law. https://www.impactteendrivers.org/gdl/wisconsin/pre-survey (Survey results are confidential.)

Then, complete a written driving agreement for the summer. https://www.cdc.gov/.../PATK_2014_TeenParent_Agreement... Remember, involved parents and caregivers can lower their teen’s crash risk by half, so continue to practice driving with them, discuss the rules with them, be a good role model, and always buckle up for a safe summer.
