Teen Drivers and the Law:
What Parents Should Know - Mischelle
Davis
Parents of teen drivers frequently seek legal advice after their child has been in a motor vehicle accident. Regardless of the circumstances, parents almost always have questions about their own personal or legal responsibility for injuries or damages that their child may have caused. Many parents have not given any prior consideration to these very important questions. And most say that had they fully understood what their legal and financial responsibilities were for an auto accident caused by their child they would have done things differently.
This presentation is intended to offer an overview and summary of some of the most important things that the parents of teens should know about their legal duties and financial obligations. A handout that could be given to parents of driver’s ed students will also be provided. The hope is that if more parents have an understanding of these issues they will feel compelled to provide more supervision and oversight of their young drivers so they can develop good driving habits and follow the rules of the road.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10TH, CONFERENCE
New Initiatives and Directions in Traffic Safety Education – Andy Pilgrim
This presentation will focus on the importance of parent driving habits as models for their children. We will talk about different ways in which parents impact student driving behavior. A new DVD to help parents will be addressed. We will demonstrate how this DVD can be used for parent nights as it provides parents with great tools, ideas and information. Also, new initiatives for younger school children will be examined. These initiatives are designed to prepare them for the driving task by helping them to be safer and to want to become part of the traffic safety solution. There will be time for questions at the end.
After the scheduled break, we will share a new presentation aimed at high school students who are starting out in Traffic Safety Education classes. Again, there will be time for questions at the end.

Crash Injury Mechanisms and Restraint Technologies – Rob Kaufman
This presentation will examine the mechanism of injury in all types of motor vehicle crashes and provide an understanding of new restraint technologies. Real world crash cases and lab tests will be examined to illustrate factors that increase the risk of injury, such as: putting your seat back in a full reclined position, riding with unrestrained occupants, and having unsecured cargo in the vehicle.

Workshop – C: The Adolescent Brain & Making BTW Decisions – Shelley Campbell
This presentation begins with a discussion of the maturation process of the adolescent brain and the Pre Frontal Cortex. This will include a discussion of how the functioning of the Pre Frontal Cortex affects decisions made while teens are driving. We will examine how important role modeling is for this age group and how Driving Education Instructors and Parents can assess when a teen is “ready” to drive alone. We will also tie science with Traffic Safety with the Injuries that are seen in Trauma Centers. This discussion will finish with a look at quality of life issues and what that means to teens, their families and society.
