Importance of safe driving stressed to Fairfax County teens
Posted on May 28, 2009
A crash occurs in Fairfax County every 16 minutes, and the majority of these crashes are caused by distracted drivers. In addition, there are around 1,000 fatal car accidents across Virginia each year. Fairfax county teens are taking notice of theses statistics and are trying to do something to help reduce the numbers.
The members of a group called Youth Against Dangerous Activities and Peer Pressure (YADAPP) held a “Crash Course” highlighting the dangers and distractions faced by teen drivers in the Fairfax County area.
The talk was given in Reston and included guest speaker Officer Katy Fernbacher, a Reston crime prevention officer from the Fairfax County Police office. Officer Fernbacher stressed the dangers facing teens like alcohol, loud music, and cell phone use. She encouraged teen drivers to slow down and pay attention when they are behind the wheel.
The event attracted many teens, some of whom were not old enough to drive. Event organizers hoped that accidents can be prevented by educating teens before they get their license. The event also stressed the importance of seat-belt use. About 58 percent of teens killed in car accidents were not wearing their seatbelts; many of their lives could have been saved if they had chosen to buckle up.
