Teen Driving...in Amish Country!!

With the amount of teens driving today, we thought it important to write about this subject and how it relates to buggy and car crashes that occur from time to time in Amish Country. Amish passengers in horse driven buggies truly stand little chance at survival of such horrific accidents.

Teenagers simply do not understand how quickly an accident can occur. Speeding through Amish communities is not a safe practice, as one never knows what is coming around the corner or what lies beyond the next hill. Parents need to promote safety by instructing their teens in becoming safe drivers and not just throw them behind the wheel of a car.

We found a pretty cool webpage called, "How's My Teen Driving?" They sell an inexpensive bumper sticker that can be put on a teenager's car, so witnesses to the teen's bad driving can call the parent's phone number. What a great idea! Here's the link: Teen Driving Bumper Sticker.
