National Teen Driver Safety Week is Oct 15-21

From Chuck Wolfe

Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear, who made traffic safety a top priority of his administration, encouraged parents to observe National Teen Driver Safety Week by making sure their teens know the rules for the road before handing them the keys.

"This week serves as an opportunity for parents and guardians to have a conversation with teens about safe driving habits," Gov. Beshear said. "Having an open dialogue is one way parents can put their minds at ease before handing over the keys, and we hope these conversations will continue throughout the year."

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is helping empower parents by joining the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in its efforts during National Teen Driver Safety Week, October 15-21, 2023.
