FLHSMV joins the Florida Department of Education, Florida Department of Transportation, Florida Police Chiefs Association, Florida Sheriffs Associations and AAA \u2013 The Auto Club to educate teens, parents, caregivers and educators on the importance of staying focused while driving and putting down devices to ensure all teens <em>Arrive Alive<\/em>.<\/p><p>\u201cLearning to drive is an exciting time for a teenager, but driving is a privilege,\u201d said<strong> FLHSMV Executive Director Terry L. Rhodes<\/strong>. \u201cIt is critical to instill safe driving habits and techniques in young drivers early to ensure all motorists on our roadways are safe. I encourage all parents to take this week to remind the young drivers in their life about the shared responsibility they take on when getting behind the wheel.\u201d<\/p><p>Florida teens, ages 15-19, make up almost five percent of Florida\u2019s licensed drivers. However, in 2018, teen crashes made up almost 12 percent of all crashes. In 2018, there were 47,583 crashes with teen drivers, resulting in 90 teen driver fatalities.<\/p><p>\u201cFHP strongly encourages parents to talk with their teen drivers before they get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle and lead by example\u201d said <strong>Colonel Gene Spaulding, Director of the Florida Highway Patrol<\/strong>. \u201cRemind your teens to buckle up, eliminate distractions and focus on driving.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cIt is important for everyone behind the wheel to remove distractions, especially Florida\u2019s teen drivers,\u201d said <strong>Florida Department of Transportation Secretary Kevin J. Thibault, P.E.<\/strong> \u201cIt is also vital for adults to practice safe driving habits on our roadways, as they are an example for everyone in the vehicle. FDOT is proud to join the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles in raising awareness on this important issue and remind drivers to always Put It Down.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cThe Florida Police Chiefs Association wants to remind parents that they should talk to their teens about safe driving habits on a reoccurring basis throughout the year,\u201d stated <strong>Chief Kenneth Albano, Temple Terrace Police Department and President of the Florida Police Chiefs Association<\/strong>. \u201cMotor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in the United States, so reminding our youth of the dangers of getting behind the wheel and the importance of practicing safe driving habits is imperative. Some important tips include, always wearing a seat belt, never driving distracted, driving the speed limit and never driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cThe Florida sheriffs are committed to promoting and supporting programs that help keep our youth safe, especially when they are driving on our state\u2019s roadways. On behalf of all Florida sheriffs, I fully endorse the Florida Department of\u00a0 Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles\u2019 Put it Down and Focus on Driving campaign,\u201d said <strong>Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, President of the Florida Sheriffs Association<\/strong>.<\/p><p>\u201cTeens need to learn how to drive safely, especially before they have the distraction of other teen passengers riding with them,\u201d said <strong>Matt Nasworthy, Florida Public Affairs Director, AAA \u2013 The Auto Club Group<\/strong>. \u201cThat is why it is critical that parents and others closest to them make proper training a priority and set a good example behind the wheel.\u201d<\/p><p>FLHSMV will be promoting the Tuesday, October 22, during Teen Driver Safety Week, as <em>Teen Arrive Alive Day <\/em>with events throughout the state and sharing important safety information on social media channels.<\/p><p>FLHSMV encourages parents, caregivers and educators to take the time to talk with teenagers about the importance of focusing on driving to <em>Arrive Alive<\/em>.
