Parent-Teen Driving Contract

The Injury Free Coalition for Kids, in collaboration with the CT Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, The Allstate Foundation, and others, has designed this contract as a point of discussion for a parent and their teen driver in coming to understand and agree on the responsibilities that come with a driver's license. Every year, nearly 6,000 US teenagers are killed in car crashes.
