Would it
surprise you to know that a teen is killed every three days in a roadway
work
zone crash…or that seven teens are injured in
work zones every day!? Pretty startling…and scary! Overall, you
could fill a stadium with the people who are killed and injured in work
zone traffic accidents each year—over 40,000! This is simply not
acceptable—NO WAY!
Turning Point: Roadway Work Zone Safety for New Drivers is a program with one goal in mind—keeping new drivers like you alive and safe in work zones.
When you
get your driver’s license, you reach
a turning point in your life. You need to deal with this turning
point in a positive and
responsible way—by recognizing the hazards and making the
right decisions every time you drive—especially when you
drive through work zones. Your driving decisions can turn your
life completely
around for the worse…or keep you headed safely on your way.
It’s
up to you!
Turning
Point will help you learn to recognize the hazards and make the right
decisions as you drive. To learn more about
