NOT FUNNY!

The car accident death rate for

teen male drivers and

passengers is more than one

teen drivers

Hmm, I wonder where all the boys went…

So much to live for…

Why all these accidents?

If there is a

god, what

does he/she

have against

teen boys?

Is there

a god?

Does it

seem like

we’re

WAY off

topic

here?Do pigs have

souls?

Reasons

Don't do that. Doh.

38% of teen deaths involved speeding

24% of teen deaths involved been

drinking and driving.

Don’t go out!

More than half of teen car deaths

occurred between 3 p.m. and

midnight, and 54% occurred on

weekends.

Safety Tip:

Stay at home wearing

helmet, gloves, knee

protection, and Lysol

during those hours.

This is a perfect

opportunity to

learn to

knit, honey!

Seatbelts.

Be like these smooth guys, and

buckle up. Every. Single. Time.

BUT…If you must go out…

Don’t text while driving.

Bring a land line with you so you won’t be tempted.

Ben, help me carry

this thing! It

weighs a ton!

Call me if you’ve been drinking. I will come get you

anywhere, any time, no questions asked. Ever. No

lectures later, nothing. *

*(Maybe just one brief powerpoint. But that’s it.)

Drive as if your life depended on it!
