5-3-19 holiday automotive launches teen safe driving campaign

todayMay 3, 2019

With high school graduation right around the corner Fond du Lac’s Holiday Automotive is launching a multi-faceted safe-driving awareness campaign targeting teenagers.  Holiday president Thor Gilbertson says the campaign includes a series of billboard messages, social media, and posters distributed to  area high schools.  Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that car crashes are the number one cause of death among teenagers, and  inexperience is the biggest factor.  The fatal crash rate for 16 to 19 year olds is nearly three times the rate for drivers  20 and above.  The risk is highest at ages 16 and 17.  The awareness campaign will run through June.
