As teens begin to get behind the wheel, it's incredibly important that they do not text and drive. Not only is this dangerous for the driver, but it poses a hazard to all others on the road, too. If you have a teen driver close to you, share this #SimpleInsights article with them. It outlines the severity of distracted driving and also provides tips on how to make sure your eyes stay on the road and not your screen! #TeenDriverSafetyTip https://lnkd.in/gncQsxUs

OSHA Safety Question: Can an employee wear full ear headphones to listen to music, and wear their hearing protection and be OSHA compliant? We want to allow our manufacturing employees to listen to music and I am creating the policy, but I want to make sure that if they choose to wear headphones (not earbuds), if they wear their hearing protection too are we still compliant with OSHA.

Talk to your teen driver about the consequences of distracted driving. Have them commit to putting their phones away while they are driving. As parents, make sure you are setting a good example for all your children - they are watching what you're doing and will emulate your behavior. #fglcares #freshgreenlight #driversed #drivingschool #teendriver #safedriver #safedrivingtips #justdrive #distracteddrivingawareness #DistractedDrivingAwarenessMonth #phonesdown #putyourphonedown #setagoodexample

🚗 Last night, I attended a training on Partners for Safe Teen Driving, and it was full of great reminders! They emphasized how parents serve as key role models for their kids, especially regarding driving habits. Here are some key takeaways: - Parental behavior matters: If you're texting while driving, your kids are more likey to adopt that habit. - Seatbelt safety: 65% of teens killed in crashes weren't wearing seatbelts—such a simple action that can save lives. - Set clear expectations: A contract with your teen can help them understand the expectations and consequences for unsafe driving. - Driving while fatigued: It's just as dangerous as driving intoxicated. - New wheel position tip: The wheel should be held at 8 and 4, not 10-2 like in the old days! (You're welcome if you didn’t know that one. 😉) Let’s continue being positive role models and encouraging safe driving habits for the next generation. 🚦 #SafeDriving #TeenDrivers #ParentalInfluence #RoadSafety #LifelongLearning

Attitudes, opinion, beliefs, values - this stuff all needs defining and basic outlines in the 'introduction to safe driving practice' course. we need to speak to young drivers in an adult way, not as it is in the current DDC. without a grass roots understanding of what they are and how they are formed how can we get young drivers to reframe them?
