TxDOT Announces Teen Click It or Ticket Campaign



The statistics associated with fatal and catastrophic personal injuries with teens operating motor vehicles is staggering. The thought of your teenager behind the wheel can be a scary thought…and it should be. According to the Institute for Highway Safety, teenagers are ten (10) times more likely to get involved in a motor vehicle crash than drivers between the ages of thirty (30) and fifty-nine (59).

This week, the state of Texas, through TxDOT, called on all Texas teens to buckle up through the launch of its Teen Click It or Ticket campaign. The Teen Click It or Ticket campaign aims to increase seat belt usage among teen drivers between the ages of 16 and 20.

Teenagers are involved in more car crashes because they think they're Goods on the road and that there is no traffic rule that can stop them.

Unfortunately I think that only increasing penalties can stop a few of them because otherwise they will continue to break all laws without any problem.

In more than 50% of impaired driving Toronto cases teenagers were involved...another danger that has to be stopped somehow.
