Why I joined the Coalition
Safe Kids Palm Beach County wants to collaborate with partners across Palm Beach County to address teen driver safety and education. By offering a variety of programming in our county, we are eager to incorporate Impact Teen Drivers for students and parents.

One tip for new teen drivers
Do not be the “Uber driver” for your friends. Drive alone or with one trusted adult or friend for at least the first year to practice, build skills, and learn the rules of the road.
