This document provides statistics and advice for safe teen driving. It notes that drivers aged 16-20 are four times more likely to get into an accident than other drivers. The main reasons for accidents among teen drivers are speeding (38% of teen deaths) and drinking and driving (24% of teen deaths). It advises teens to always wear a seatbelt, not drive between 3pm and midnight or on weekends when most accidents occur, not use phones while driving, and to call for a ride if they've been drinking rather than driving under the influence.
