WHAT & WHY: For the past 25 years, October has been found to be
the most dangerous month for teen drivers in Texas. AAA Texas
looked at statistics dating as far back as 1975, and found
that on average more teens, aged 15 to 17, are killed or
injured in October than any other month of the year.
In light of this finding, Governor Rick Perry has proclaimed
October "Teen Safe Driving Month" in Texas, urging all
motorists to support and participate in efforts that help
teens become safer drivers and reduce teen traffic deaths.
