Speed Kills: Preventing Teen Driving Fatalities

To the inexperienced driver, speeding and thoughtlessness are potentially as dangerous as drinking and driving. Every year, thousands of teens die in traffic accidents—often as a result of the teenage driver’s excessive speed, lack of experience or inattention. This award-winning documentary features interviews with the survivors of a fatal car accident caused by a teenager’s careless driving. It warns of the real dangers of a violent wreck that face all teen drivers, and the psychological impact on the family. Across the country, juvenile courts use this program as part of a mandatory licensing ceremony in order to illustrate the very real dangers and responsibilities of driving.
