Traffic crashes are the number one cause of death for young people in the U.S. Despite seemingly constant warnings from parents, police, educators and the media, the combination of inexperience and poor judgment leads to an estimated annual toll of more than 5,600 teen deaths on our roads and highways, and a staggering 375,000 injuries.  Some injuries - scrapes and broken bones-- may heal in weeks or months.  Others, such as traumatic brain injury, will lead to a lifetime disability ranging from paralysis to speech and motion impairments.
