Teen Road Safety
Oklahoma's teenage drivers have more crashes than any other age group, which causes their insurance premiums to be exceptionally high. During their first year of driving, 25% of 16-year-olds either receive a ticket or are involved in a crash. There are two prevailing reasons why teenage drivers are at increased risk of being involved in motor vehicle-related crashes that result in injury or death:
- Lack of driving experience: Lack of experience means the teenage driver is less able to detect and respond to traffic hazards.
- Risk behavior of teenagers: Teenagers tend to take more risks as they are influenced by their emotions, stress and peer pressure. In addition, experimenting with alcohol and drugs can impair the teenager’s driving ability.
Parents Should Know
When your teen enters his or her driving years, it can generate a mix of excitement and worry for both you and your child. The more you know about the licensing process and teen driving laws in Oklahoma, and the more you communicate about the responsibilities that come with driving, the better prepared you both will be.
- Parent Influence and Setting Ground Rules: Get started on helping your teen become a safe and capable driver. Spell Out the Rules - no cell phones, no passengers, no speeding, no alcohol, no driving when tired, and always buckle up. These rules could help save your teen’s life.
