"The Graduated Driver Licensing laws address these high risk dangerous driv- ing situations." A new study, "How well do parents manage young driver crash risk?" by Bruce G. Simons-Morto- n and Jessica L. Hartos published in the Journal of Safety Research discusses the important role parents play in their teenager's driving and how parents view the risk of teen driving. It cited a Connecticut study of parents of teens with learner's permits on the parents' perceptions of risk for a variety of teen driving behaviors. In the Connecticut study, parents were asked to grade the risks their teens faced in many situations. The parents' average score for driving was 6 on a scale of 1 to 10 where 10 represented extreme risk. If these parents understood that their children were more likely to be killed or injured in a crash than from any other cause, they probably would have given driving a score of 10. Aside from driving after using drugs or alcohol, which they rated at92, this sample of parents ranked what are known to be the most dangerous driving situations faced by teens. Their rankings were: 61 for driving without a seat belt; 48 for driving in bad . weather; 42 for driving with friends on a weekend; 32 for driving at night in the rain; and 28 for driving with two or more teens in the car. It is clear from this study that many parents do not understand what driving situations place their teens in the most jeopardy. When parents do not understand the real risks involved in driving, they will have difficulty monitoring their teen's driving to provide the safest learning situations. Parents can look to the Graduated Driver Licensing law as a guideline to the driving situations that need closest monitoring. The Graduated Driver Licensing Law addresses: Seat Belt Use. The use of seat belts is known to significantly reduce deaths and injuries in crashes. ers, they must complete and sign a waiver of confidentiality located on the back side of the application for meal benefits and return it to the School District Office to the attention of Karen cesses and workforce issues.

In Utah the numbers are worse - 85 of the 7 year olds' hospitalized patients were in a vehicle driven by a 7 year old. In Utah, 70 of the 7 s killed in a crash were in a vehicle driven by a old. Carrying passengers is a distraction for new drivers. It also encourages new drivers to take chances they would not take if driving alone. For these reasons, it is very important to limit passengers. The Graduated Driver Licensing law prohibits new drivers from carrying teen passengers for the first six months of their license, up to the age of 18. The new driver may drive with family members or friends if there is a licensed adult driver in the front seat.

In fact there is a teenage crash in Utah every 30 minutes. Young drivers are required to spend more time behind the wheel to gain needed experience. After teens pass the initial test in their driver education course, a practice permit is issued. A new driver must log 30 hours of driving practice before they receive their driver license. and The Simons-Morto- n Hartos study shows that greater parental involvement in a teen's driving is associated with less risky driving behavior. Parents should maintain control over when their teen is licensed, the ieen's driving and restrict access to a car and to the number of passengers. The same study shows that low parental monitoring and control were related to risky driving behavior, traffic violations and crashes. Traffic violations were about four times more likely and crashes were almost seven times more likely with lenient restrictions related to frequency of friends as passengers and to the timing of 1400 sq.ft. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths Standard wood framing Double wall construction 2x6 exterior walls R1 9 insulation in walls 2x12 TJ1 floor joists GROCERY- - KEEPSAKES-craft- restricts driving between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. for new drivers until the age of 17.
