What's a driving contract? A way to clearly identify expectations in your household regarding driving privileges for teens.
Why a driving contract? Because motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) are the leading cause of death in people age 16 to 20. MVAs account for about 1/3 of deaths of people in this age group. Here are more frightening statistics:
 |
People aged 16 to 20 have the highest fatality rate due to MVAs of any other age group. |
|
About 5000 teenagers of driving age die in automobile accidents every year. |
|
17-year old drivers are 6 times as likely to have an MVA as are people in the general population of drivers. |
|
16-year old drivers are 20 times as likely to have an MVA. |
Feel free to print off our model driving contract for use as is, or modify it to fit your family's rules.
