BOSTON, June 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Summer is here which means teens are pouring out of the classroom and into their cars. And a new study by Liberty Mutual Insurance and SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) gives parents reason to pause before they hand over the keys to their newly freed young driver. The 2011 Liberty Mutual/SADD teen driving study reveals an alarmingly high number of young drivers who have had "near misses" while driving and some insight into what may be chief contributors to those events, despite what the teens think. According to the study, 68 percent of teens admit to have narrowly avoided a crash - with more than half of those (56 percent) reporting multiple instances - yet young drivers are more apt to blame external causes such as other drivers or the...
BOSTON, Oct. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Teen drivers are becoming increasingly aware of the potential dangers of texting while driving, yet it's not curbing the behavior.

SOUTH AMBOY, N.J., May 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- DCH Auto Group is calling attention to teen driving safety this May as part of National Youth Traffic Safety Month. Throughout May, all DCH Auto Group Dealerships in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and California will be holding and sponsoring events to raise awareness about how to keep young drivers safe on our roads and highways. May is an important time for teens to be focused on driving safety.

As high school students pour out of the classroom and into their cars, it's a good reminder that the summer season almost always proves to be the most dangerous for teen driving. A new study by SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) and Liberty Mutual Insurance gives parents reason to pause before handing over the keys to their newly released young driver, revealing an alarmingly high number of teens who have had "near misses." It also delivers some insight into what may be chief contributors to those events -- even if they differ from what most young people think.

Maybe some teens who are planning to drink on prom night will change their minds after witnessing sobering scenes at school. At North Hills High School, for instance, members of the school's staff and chapter of SADD -- Students Against Destructive Decisions - - are putting on an assembly for seniors the day before the May 21 prom at Heinz Field. Nurses from the emergency room at Passavant Hospital will talk about the alcohol-related accidents they see, and show photos. Then, the students will go outside to view a mock car crash, complete with a wrecked vehicle, an ambulance and students pretending to be injured.
BOSTON, April 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Each spring we are reminded of the driving tragedies that too often occur on prom night; however, there is encouraging news from the new 2011 teen driving study by Liberty Mutual Insurance and SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) that hopefully suggests fewer of these incidences will befall families this prom season. According to the new national study of 2,294 high school students, only 6 percent say they have driven under the influence on prom night, a stark contrast to the perception of that behavior. In a 2009 study, 90 percent of teens felt their peers would be more likely to drink and drive after prom than at other times of the year. The Liberty Mutual/SADD study results offer some insight into a possible reason for the limited occur...
As the end of the school year approaches, students are excitedly preparing for proms and graduations. These are treasured traditions to celebrate "growing up" and to recognize accomplishments. However, these times of laughter, dancing, good memories and celebration easily could turn dangerous and deadly. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, alcohol-related accidents spike during April, May and June, the peak months for proms and graduations. The organization Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) reports automobile crashes are the leading cause of death among teens, and approximately 36 percent of traffic deaths among 15-20 year olds are alcohol- related.
Thursday's "grim reaper" exercise by Germantown High School's Students Against Destructive Decisions club couldn't have been more timely. This is prom and graduation season, and any parents who think their children won't be tempted to succumb to peer pressure and consume, smoke or ingest illegal substances that could lead to serious injury or death are hiding their heads in the sand.
SADD sponsors Mock Car Crash The Junior and Senior class at Springboro High School experienced the Mock Car Crash on Thursday, April 22. The students saw vivid visualizations of what could happen if making wrong decisions while behind the wheel of a vehicle. Many people were involved with the mock crash including Angi Gooslin, Miami Valley CareFlight Educator who narrated the program, Lt. Chris Vecchi and the Clearcreek Township Fire Department, Sgt. Don Wilson and the Springboro Police Department, Nathan Baker and Kevin Dillon from Anderson Funeral Home, and members of SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions). The most emotional and long lasting point was at the end of the mock crash when Cher Clark, mother of a Wayne H.S. student, Shane, spoke about a night she will never forget....
