These responsibilities include educational material, recommendations in approaching specific traffic safety topics, researching, planning and carrying out programs related to events, and so much more.
Novice teen driver have a higher crash risk because they have minimal driving and life experience. Because of that, they have less experience to draw upon to help them understand the true risks of the driving experience. Compound that reality with distraction, impairment, and fatigue and their crash risk becomes significantly higher than the crash risk of the average, older driver.
