National Teen Driver Safety Week is October 18-24, 2020.

This week - and every week, parents should have conversations with their teens about the important rules they need to follow to stay safe behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. These rules address the greatest dangers for teen drivers: alcohol, inconsistent or no seat belt use, distracted and drowsy driving, speeding, and number of passengers.

This past week, Officer Curtis Morgan from the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office Community Affairs Unit had the opportunity to meet remotely with a class from the New York Mills Union Free School District, and spoke on teen traffic safety topics.
