To the inexperienced driver, speeding and thoughtlessness are potentially as dangerous as drinking and driving. Every year thousands of teens die in traffic accidents—often as a result of the teenage driver’s excessive speed, lack of experience, or inattention. This award-winning documentary features interviews of the survivors of a fatal car accident caused by a teenager’s careless driving. It warns of the real dangers and violent wrecks that face all teen drivers, and the psychological impact on the family. ©2006 Henrico County Community Partnership, CC
