Did you know that the drivers license rules are different by state? Did you know that the AAP guidelines (aap.org/en/advocacy/st…) aren't consistently supported by state laws? Check out the rules for your state. Bit.ly/GDL-Laws @MontefiorePeds @T4CIP_ #RulesForTheRoad

A cartoon flier is pictured with a driving icon in the header. The text reads: "Make sure your teen is following your state's graduated driver licensing laws. These laws keep teens safer by: protecting teens from situations known to increase crash risk by limiting passengers, establishing curfews, and requiring supervised driving, and gradually increasing drivers’ independence. Learn more about your state’s GDL: Bit.ly/GDL-Laws”

Tree branches, cell phones, and rainy conditions oh my! What are some dangers of the road you should help prepare your teen to look out for? #RulesForTheRoad @T4CIP_

"Three road signs are pictured: ‘Hazard!’, ‘SPEED LIMIT: 35’, and a cell phone with a line through it. The text reads: ""75% of teen car crashes are the result of driver errors. The majority of these crashes are due: to failure to spot a hazard ahead in time to react, driving too fast for conditions, and distractions.”

Below the text, a teen smiles and holds up car keys while sitting in the driver’s seat. Text reads: ""Set them up for success! Talk to your teen driver about how to be safer on the road.""

A hand holds up a teen's driver's license. The text reads: "The greatest lifetime risk for getting into a car crash happens in the first year after a teen gets their license. Set them up for success. Learn how to keep new drivers safer on the road: TeenDriverSource.Research.CHOP.edu"

Every teen driver is different, and there are many things that can impact a teen's ability to drive safely and confidently. Being differently-abled might call for accommodations when learning how to drive. @T4CIP_ #TeenDriverSafetyWeek

Most people know that distracted driving increases the risk of car crashes. Luckily there are methods to decrease the draw to using a cell phone while driving. #RulesForTheRoad @T4CIP_ @MontefiorePeds @safekids

A cartoon cell phone is held with ‘Do Not Disturb’ mode enabled. A red car is in the background. The text reads: "Keep your focus on the road and away from your phone. Eliminate distractions from your phone before starting your drive by: turning on "driving focus" or "do not disturb" and "keeping your phone in a designated spot out of reach."
