ATTENTION All RHOTC with Teen Drivers



Steer Straight Program To Encourage Safe Teen Driving

A great program for parents of newly licensed teenagers.  This program is based out in Massachusetts and parents decided to keep their kids in check by creating a hotline to call if you see a teenage driver who is driving unsafe.  I think this is a great idea.. since the percentage of teenage drivers killed yearly has steadily increased.
