"5 to Drive" Teen Safety Campaign

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) created a campaign that challenges parents to discuss five critical driving practices with their teenage drivers that can have the greatest beneficial impacts in the event of a crash.

NT01 41330 Teen Ads 350x300

Parents should have conversations with their teens about the important rules they need to follow to stay safe behind the wheel of a passenger car, truck, or SUV. These rules address the greatest dangers for teen drivers: alcohol, inconsistent or no seat belt use, distracted and drowsy driving, speeding, and number of passengers.

For teens, driving means freedom. That doesn’t necessarily mean safety: most teens find themselves in danger on the road simply because they lack experience behind the wheel.

The "5 to Drive" campaign encourages parents to visit www.safercar.gov/parents/teendriving and discuss with their teens these safety topics which include:

  • No cell phone use or texting while driving
  • No extra passengers
  • No speeding
  • No alcohol
  • No driving or riding without a seat belt

No Cell Phone Use or Texting While Driving

Parents: You may not realize it, but you’re more of an influence on your teenager than you think. They will model your behavior when they’re driving. What are they learning from you? www.nhtsa.gov/road-safety/teen-driving

No Extra Passengers

Surveys show that teens whose parents set firm rules for driving, typically engage in less risky behavior and are involved in fewer crashes.  Have you set the rules of driving for your teens? www.nhtsa.gov/road-safety/teen-driving
