Drive Safe, Celebrate Smart

Prom and graduation season is an exciting time to celebrate milestones and achievements, but safety should always come first. This flyer provides essential reminders to help ensure that everyone can enjoy these memorable events responsibly. Let’s make this season both fun and safe for all!

Approximately 300 teens have died in alcohol-related traffic crashes during prom weekends over the past several years, according to NHTSA.

Talking on a cell phone can double the likelihood of a crash as well as slow a young driver’s reaction time down to that of a 70-year-old.

In the U.S., the fatal crash rate per mile driven for the 16 to 19-year-olds is nearly three times the rate for drivers ages 20 and over.

Statistics show that roughly one-third of alcohol-related teen traffic fatalities occur between April and June, the peak of prom and graduation season.
