Juniors and seniors of Lower Naugatuck Valley high schools and their parents are invited to the 10th Annual Teen Safe Driving Awareness Night from 5:30-7:30 p.m. April 2 at Griffin Hospital.
“Teen drivers have a higher rate of fatal crashes, mainly because of their immaturity, lack of skills, and lack of experience,” said Cathi Kellett of Griffin Hospital’s Community Outreach & Valley Parish Nurse Program.
“With guidance from their parents and programs like this one, we aim to help prepare young drivers for the dangers of the road and help keep everyone safe.”
