Very good News-Leader Op Ed on Hilltopping
The Springfield News-Leader has an excellent Op-Ed piece on hilltopping car crashes. It includes some photos of the vehicles involved in the quadruple fatality last year. I previous wrote about hilltopping here.
The Safety Council of the Ozarks encourages youngsters -- and parents -- to learn more about the challenges of teen driving in an organized fashion.
The council says, "Whether you're a parent who is anxiously anticipating your teen's novice driving experience, a family looking for guidance during the minimum two-year process a new driver goes through, or a teen unfamiliar with the surprisingly high risks that teenagers face behind the wheel, the National Safety Council's Family Guide to Teen Driver Safety is intended to be helpful to everyone involved."
The guide includes information on the transition from beginner to
independent driver as well as the permit process, risks of teenage drivers and safe driving behaviors.
The safety council also encourages parents to enroll in a one-hour seminar that provides insight to using the guide with a teen.
