Save the Date; AAA to Release Analysis Showing Teen Driver Crashes More Deadly for Other Road Users Than Teen Driver; AAA to Focus Advocacy Efforts on Strengthening Teen Driver Laws

--AAA:

WHAT:     AAA will release new information on the effects teen driver 
          crashes have on other road users. In the first analysis of 
          its kind, the report investigates the number of other 
          persons, besides teen drivers, who have died in crashes 
          involving novice teen drivers.  

          The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety analyzed ten years of 
          crash data and identified all fatal crashes involving 15-, 
          16-, and 17-year-old drivers of passenger vehicles. The 
          report will show the greater toll teen driver crashes have 
          on other road users including the teen driver's passenger, 
          other motorists and even pedestrians.

WHO:      Robert L. Darbelnet, AAA President and CEO
          Victims of teen driver crashes will share their personal 
          stories and be available for interviews.
