MANSFIELD, Texas, Nov. 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Teenageronboard.org (TOB) announced today that new subscriptions prior to Christmas to their teenager driving safety program will receive a bumper-type sticker sent in a holiday gift envelope. TOB's program is a service where other drivers who notice teenage driving issues can call an "800" number to report the incident. Parents are then notified.
Motor Vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers in the US. There are over 5,000 teenager's deaths per year from traffic accidents. In fact, more than 25% of drivers ages 15-20 who were killed in crashes had blood alcohol concentration levels of .08 or higher at the time of the crash.
Teenagers are eager to become adults and assume their independence. Handing them the keys to a car is so frightening. Parents can't always be in the car with them. TOB permits others on the road to watch and report how a teenager is driving.
Teenageronboard.org is a web site designed for parents to register their teenager's vehicle information. Once registered, TOB sends a special sticker with an "800" telephone number and unique identifying number. The sticker is posted in a conspicuous location on the teenager's car so other drivers can easily call and report driving infractions. If an incident occurs, and is reported to the 24/7 answering service, parents receive an email notification of the incident.
