HARRISBURG - PennDOT urges teen drivers to avoid deadly distractions - such texting and talking on cell phones - and reminds parents of young drivers to always set a good example by driving safely.
Gov. Edward G. Rendell proclaimed Oct. 17-23 as Teen Driver Safety Week to coincide with the national observance.
From 2005 to 2009, there were 121,845 crashes involving at least one 16- to 19-year-old driver in Pennsylvania, resulting in 1,011 fatalities. Fifty-two percent of those crashes were the result of the teen driver driving too fast for conditions, driver inexperience, driver distraction and improper/careless turning.

With this in mind, PennDOT offers the following safety tips to teen drivers:
formal evening gowns- Avoid distractions behind the wheel, such as talking or texting on your cell phone, adjusting the radio, combing hair or applying makeup, and eating.
- Obey the speed limit; driving too fast gives you less time to react.
- Adjust radio/climate controls before beginning your trip, have your passenger adjust the controls for you or adjust the controls when stopped.
PennDOT also reminds parents that adult supervision is a critical component of keeping teen drivers safe on the roads, as parents are in the best position to assess the teen driver's knowledge, skills and maturity.
