DRIVING LESSONS FOR TEENAGERS IN CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA

Driving Lessons for Teenagers in Cranberry Township, PA, are critically important for everyone's safety and enjoyment of the road. Here are some eye-opening facts about safe driving. It has often been asked that if teenagers are considered to have the best reflexes and reaction times of all the age groups, then why are they involved in the highest percentage of automobile crashes? The answer is inexperience. That may be the best one-word response, but there is a lot more to it.


Teens don't have the life experience that would expose them to a variety of dangerous situations that could include motorists suddenly veering into their lane, drivers never fully stopping at intersections, drivers turning or changing lanes without using their turn signals, and heavy rain or snowy weather conditions.


Teenagers haven't experienced enough driving situations to anticipate the multitude of things that could happen and often don't adjust their speed to avoid incidents from occurring. They stand to benefit from new driver lessons, taught by the professionals at Taught Right Drive Safe School of Driving, LLC.

CONSIDER THESE FACTS:

The #1 killer of teens is car crashes.


While teens account for only 8.7% of the population, they are involved in 14.7% of all fatal crashes.


The fatality rate for teenage drivers is about four times as high as the rate for drivers 25–69.


Sixty-five percent of teen passenger deaths occur when another teenager is behind the wheel.


When a teenage driver adds one additional teenage passenger, the odds of having a fatal collision will double. If three or more teenagers are in the car, the odds of having a deadly accident will be five times higher.


In the last decade, about 70,000 teens have died in car crashes.

SAFE DRIVING


Pittsburgh has been recognized by several studies to be one of the most challenging and dangerous cities for driving in the country. Taught Right Drive Safe School of Driving, LLC provides driving lessons for teenagers to show them how to navigate their cars through the city and surrounding areas safely. We will discuss non-distracted driving (i.e., no texting/phone use, auto-drive mode, hands-free communication, etc.), and must-know traffic and road safety tips. 


You don't need to be a teenager to benefit from new driver lessons. Older adults or people who fear a particular type of driving, in traffic, on highways, or in rain or snow, will also benefit from refresher lessons.
