Driving Safety for Teens and Seniors

iihs.org

Driving is dangerous for everyone, but statistically teens and older drivers are involved in more crashes and highway fatalities than any other age group. On The Point, we talk about the reasons why, and explore ways we can make the driving safer for everyone. 

Guests include: Dr. Greg Parkinson, pediatrician; John Paul, Manager of Traffic Safety at Triple A Southern New England; Michele Ellicks, Community Outreach at the Mass DOT and Registry of Motor Vehicles; Elizabeth Dugan, Associate Professor, Department of Gerontology, UMass-Boston; and Russ Rader, Senior Vice President at The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Mindy Todd hosts.
