Speeding Tennessee Teen Driver Leaves The Road Rolls And Survives
Teen Drivers + Speed
The news article identified the five people seriously in a late night Nashville auto crash as teenagers. The scene is a two-lane rural Tennessee highway late at night, a car driving at a high rate of speed when the driver loses control, leaves the road and flips, ejecting several of them who were probably not wearing their seatbelts.
This is a story that plays out so often that it is becoming a Tennessee chiche. Through the grace of a loving God, none of these people were seriously injured. As an experienced Tennessee automobile accident attorney my hope is that the, or at least some of them will learn the lesson that their parents should have taught them.
As an experienced Nashville automobile accident lawyer I have seen far too many teen deaths and I strongly encourage parents to be realistic about the skills and propensities of their children. It’s a time of excitement and dread for every parent, the time when their precious little Bobby or Betty reaches the age when they can drive. Excitement because their child is growing up and the parents can relinquish to job of being the chauffeur for their busy teens and dread because the know in their heart of hearts the dangers that teen drivers face as they take to the highways and byways.
In addition to laws, safety experts agree that parents play a key role in helping teens become good drivers. Parents should not rely solely on drivers education classes to teach good driving habits and should restrict night driving, restrict the numbers of passengers riding with their teen, supervise practice driving, always require use of seat belts and choose vehicles for safety, not image. Parents can also set a good example by practicing safe driving techniques themselves.
