PREVENTION AND EDUCATION ARE KEY
![Page 23: How one mistake behind the wheel can change your life forever... Traumatic Brain Injury.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e555503460f94b4c9f7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
EDUCATION!
Driver education is CRITICAL!
Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) laws have been proven effective at reducing teen crashes.
Driver education works better when it is coupled with GDL laws. •
