The governor of Wisconsin deemed this week Teen Driver Safety Week in Wisconsin in order to urge teen drivers to make sensible decisions while driving or riding with other teen drivers.
Traffic accidents are the number one cause of death for teens across the nation and in the state of Wisconsin. Teen drivers are killed in accidents four times more than adult drivers.
