The mission of Partners for Safe Teen Driving: A Teen-Safe Community Health Initiative is to reduce the incidences of teenage automobile crashes in Virginia. The vision of the initiative is to have educated and responsible teenage drivers who as members of their community will have a commitment to safe and responsible driving.
Vehicle crashes are the No. 1 killer of teenagers in America. Nearly 7,000 teens die annually in such accidents, according to the most recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Because of inexperience, many teens lack the skills and knowledge required to be safe drivers. Statistics demonstrate that teen involvement in crashes declines considerably as young drivers gain experience. Safe Driving Solution - Driving Skills for Life (DSFL) was established in 2003 by Ford Motor Company Fund, the Governors Highway Safety Association, and a panel of safety experts to teach newly licensed teens the necessary skills for safe driving beyond what they learn in standard driver education programs.
