Teen Drivers: Rules of The Road by the ARISE Foundation can help you buy, maintain and safely operate a car.

September 20, 2008

  • Kyle Grayden, 17, of Shorewood, Minnesota, glanced at her iPod while driving with her cousin and a friend, both 17. When she veered off the road and flipped her car into a ditch, she and her friend were killed.
  • Heading home from practice, Jonathan Chapman, a 16-year-old high school basketball player from La Plata, Maryland, was reportedly speeding when his car rammed an SUV. He and three friends, ages 14 to 16, were killed.
  • Five days after graduating from high school, Bailey Goodman, 17, of Fairport, New York, and four classmates were on their way to her family’s cottage. Moments after text messages were exchanged on Bailey’s cell phone, she slammed into an oncoming truck. All five teens were killed.
  • These three tragic stories from Reader’s Digest (Aug. 2008) illustrate the need to educate teen drivers about safety behind the wheel. Car crashes are the number one killer of teens in the United States.

    At the ARISE Foundation, protecting and nurturing teens is a big part of our life skills curricula. Rules of the Road is a manual just for teen drivers. This detailed, informative book covers all of the following and much more:

    • Defensive Driving
    • Road Rage
    • Automobile Maintenance
    • What to do if you are pulled over
    • What to do if you have an accident
    • Drunk Driving
    • How to Insure a Car

    …and more!

    Most teens can’t WAIT to get their license…and most parents dread the day their child gets behind the wheel. Help ease the stress and educate teens on the huge responsibility of owning and operating a vehicle with the Rules of the Road book.
