Safe driving program launched

• A new driving program aimed at teenagers and their parents was recently launched in Hamilton. The Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation provided funding for the development of the program, which involves a "safe-driving contract" to be signed by teenagers and their parents. Once the contract is signed, drivers display a decal with a toll-free number on their car so others can comment on driving behaviour. The program has the support of Health Canada and police and medical associations across North America. It is designed to reduce the risk of car accidents involving adolescents.
