The Christmas season has begun... buckle up!

Look for billboards and opportunities to talk to your young ones about the importance of wearing their seatbelt, even in the back seat or if you are just going down the road. Mom wants you home for Christmas.

Ever known a mom that lost a child a long time ago? It is territory that no one wants to navigate for fear of making her cry. Newsflash... she does anyway.
This Christmas give them a gift that will open portals of love that no one has broached for a long time. She may never talk about it to you but then again she just might...

I hate to have to continue to have this conversation but
According to the CDC

Risk Factors for Teen Drivers
For Everyone
Aug. 4, 2025

Overview
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens. Teen motor vehicle crashes are preventable, and proven strategies can improve the safety of young drivers on the road.

About 2,800 teens in the United States ages 13–19 were killed and about 227,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes in 2020. That means that every day, about eight teens died due to motor vehicle crashes, and hundreds more were injured.

Who's at risk
The risk of motor vehicle crashes is higher among teens ages 16–19 than among any other age group. Teen drivers in this age group have a fatal crash rate almost three times as high as drivers ages 20 and older per mile driven.

Teens who are at especially high risk for motor vehicle crashes include:

Males
The motor vehicle crash death rate for male drivers ages 16–19 years was three times as high as the death rate for female drivers in the same age group in 2020

Teens driving with teen or young adult passengers
The presence of teen or young adult passengers increases the crash risk of unsupervised teen drivers. This risk increases with each additional teen or young adult passenger.

Newly licensed teens
Crash risk is particularly high during the first months of licensure. For example, data indicate that the crash rate per mile driven is about 1.5 times as high for 16-year-old drivers as it is for 18–19-year-old drivers.

Going into the holiday season 20 years ago, I never dreamed it would be our last Christmas, Thanksgiving, birthday, even 4th of July together.
Talk to your teens about buckling up even if you think they already know.

Did you know?

National Seat Belt Day is observed annually on November 14th to promote the life-saving importance of wearing a seat belt. The day highlights that buckling up is a simple action that significantly increases safety in motor vehicle crashes for drivers and passengers alike.
What it is: A day dedicated to encouraging everyone to wear a seat belt every time they are in a vehicle.
Why it's important: Wearing a seat belt is proven to save lives and reduce injuries in the event of a crash.
What to do: Buckle up yourself, make sure every passenger buckles up, and encourage others to do the same, no matter how short the trip.
Historical significance: The day also commemorates the invention of the three-point seat belt in 1959 by Nils Bohlin, which is now found in all new cars.

Think about giving $14 on the 14th for the education of young drivers?
