Young Drivers and Traffic Fatalities: 20 Years of Progress on the Road to Zero

October 31, 2023 | 2 p.m. ET | Virtual

Young drivers are nearly four times more likely to be involved in a fatal traffic crash than their older counterparts, but a new GHSA report confirms that crash and fatality rates for drivers under 21 have improved drastically over the past two decades – more so than for other drivers. Join this GHSA webinar on October 31 to learn more about this new report and the progress that we’ve made in teen driver safety over the past 20 years. Pam Shadel Fischer, the report author and GHSA Senior Director of External Engagement, will summarize the data findings and discuss what’s behind the improvement in teen fatal crash rates. She’ll be joined by Mike Speck, Lead Instructor of the Ford Driving Skills for Life (DSFL) program, for a conversation about how teen driver and parent/guardian educational efforts have evolved.

Register for the webinar.
