Most people are concerned about the safety of teen drivers. Beginning on October 15 it is National Teen Driver Safety Week, which is partially backed by State Farm Insurance Company.

The idea is to bring about awareness and to help prevent teen deaths while driving. Parents would be well advised to take part and talk to teens in their household. Remind teens of the repercussions of distractions, i.e., friends in the car, changing radio stations and probably the worst offender - the use of cell phones while driving. In fact, why not ban your teen's use of cell phones altogether while driving. In 2008, laws pertaining to cell phone use while driving are going to change in California, so why not start now. With the exception of driving under the influence, that will probably do more to insure safe driving than any other single change. Safe driving.
