Summer Deadliest Time for Teen Drivers

San Francisco (PRWEB) June 5, 2009 -- June marks the start of the deadliest time of year for teen drivers. In response, AAA Northern California is offering a new package of tools that can help keep teens safe on the roads this summer.

AAA Northern California's Teen Safe Driver package includes insurance, free associate AAA membership, and an optional coaching device installed in teen cars that alerts parents and their teens to unsafe driving patterns. Other benefits include a discount on the cost of AAA's TeenSMART driver training program. TeenSMART uses a combination of at-home and behind-the-wheel training to give licensed teen drivers the advanced, real-world skills they need to drive safely and avoid accidents. AAA is also offering a free copy of its Driver-ZED program as part of the package. Driver-ZED is an interactive computer DVD-ROM that allows teen drivers to gain experience at recognizing dangerous driving situations in a safe virtual environment. More information about the AAA Teen Safe Driver package (www.aaa.com/offer) is available at www.aaa.com/offer.

According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the 101 days between Memorial Day and Labor Day are the most deadly season of the year for teenagers. Teen deaths increase in May, continue to climb throughout June and reach their peak in July and August.

"Teens need to understand that freedom comes with responsibilities," said Matt Skryja, spokesperson for AAA Northern California. "Keep communicating with your teen driver about the choices they make behind the wheel. Texting while driving, distractions created by teen passengers, drinking, and driving while drowsy lead to thousands of fatal teen crashes each summer. Get these issues out in the open and make your expectations clear."

AAA recommends teens and their parents take time to understand the Graduated Drivers License (GDL) laws for California. AAA research finds that states with comprehensive GDL systems have shown a reduction in deaths among 16-year-old drivers by 38 percent. These systems allow new teen drivers to gain experience under less-risky conditions. AAA has been a long-time advocate for strong GDL laws in all 50 states.

More information about AAA teen safety programs (www.aaa.com/teensdrive) is available online at www.aaa.com/teensdrive.

AAA Northern California offers a wide array of automotive, travel, insurance, DMV, financial services and consumer discounts to nearly 4 million members. AAA has been a leader and advocate for the safety and security of all travelers since it was founded more than 100 years ago.
