October 16-22 is National Teen Driver Safety Week! ACS is proud to partner with the MSP and promote the importance of safe driving. Everyday we will be sharing important facts and resources from the MSP to help parents and guardians. To kick off our campaign check out this video from the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9s2pcYmCOKI Today’s fact is that teen drivers are 3x more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than drivers over 20 years old. Research shows that teen drivers whose parents put their foot down are only half as likely to be involved in a crash.
