This week is National Teen Driver Safety Week and this years theme is Ride Like a Friend. A major focus will be on teens to make better decisions such as not riding with inexperienced drivers, refraining from distracting behavior and always wearing a seat belt. About half of the teens who die in crashes each year are passengers.
