High School Driver Says Drive Safe, Get There, Have Fun

Palm City, FL -- September 22, 2004 - The Florida Drivers Association today announced the launch of www.HighSchoolDriver.com a new website dedicated to driver safety and education for teens. The website takes a unique approach - mix the serious messages about drinking and driving, and wearing a seatbelt with topics teens thirst for like music, cars, clothes, sports, and other topics.

The harsh reality is that in 2002, driver's age 15 to 20 accounted for 23% of the fatal crashes - that's 6,322 young lives lost. But this group only makes up 6.4% of the total driving population. These numbers illustrate that young drivers are three to 4 times more likely to die in a car crash. Most these deaths can be avoided by eliminating drunk driving, getting teen drivers to wear seatbelts, and other common sense steps. www.HighSchoolDriver.com addresses these issues in an environment designed to attract teens.
