New Poll from Root Insurance and SADD highlights the dangers teens face on roadways
MORGANTON, N.C. - ncarol.com -- Today, Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) and Root Insurance call all motorists to prioritize safety during National Teen Driver Safety Week.
The California Office of Traffic Safety data shows that car crashes continue to be a leading cause of death for teens ages 16-24 in the Golden State. A new Zogby poll (https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnzogby/2021/09/...), commissioned by Root and SADD, shows that 64% of Californians are concerned about roadway safety, specifically distracted driving and its threat to their safety.
National Teen Driver Safety Week is a nationwide observance to call attention to the public health crisis of roadway fatalities. SADD works with a coalition of partners across the state to raise awareness on these issues with funding from the California Office of Traffic Safety and the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

"Distractions, impairment, speed, recklessness, lack of seat belt, and inexperience, these behaviors are the leading causes of teen crashes in California, and they are 100% preventable,csaid Rick Birt, President & CEO of SADD. "We're honored to join with Root Insurance to raise awareness of these behaviors and what teens and adult allies can do to prevent crashes and save lives."
"Californians are right to be concerned with the real dangers posed by distracted driving," said Kathy Mitchell, Director of Government Affairs for Root, Inc. "One innovative solution supported by California drivers is to tie driving ability to insurance rates so that drivers are incentivized to drive safely with lower rates. We know which tools will make our roads safer, we just need to implement them. Californians can rest assured SADD is working tirelessly to deliver results."
