It’s National Teen Driver Safety week! CHOP research shows that most kids rely at least partially on their parents to learn how to drive- and for 40%, parents are the only driving instructor teens ever have. Even though parents play a critical role in teaching teens to drive, new research from CHOP shows they may not have the tools and support they need tools and support to be effective teachers.

Read this editorial in the Courier Post from the teen driving experts at CHOP’s Center for Injury Research and Prevention, encouraging parents and driving instructors to work together to help teens to develop into safe, responsible drivers.
