Tim Hollister – A Father Shares Tragic Story about Teen Driving

The No. 1 cause of death for teens is car crashes and statistics show summer months are when teens most frequently take joyrides, or trips for fun, with no plan or destination and in light of June being National Safety Month, Hollister teamed up with Hum by Verizon to share smart tips on how parents can help their teen drivers be safer during this dangerous time of year.

This summer, Hum by Verizon is taking action to focus on making the days between Memorial and Labor Days the 100 Safer Days of Summer. For 100 days, parents of teens and summer drivers overall will be encouraged and educated about ways they can stay safer on the road this summer.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT 100 SAFER DAYS OF SUMMER:
Why this parent believes every parent should install a tracking device like Hum by Verizon
