Leading Cause of Death for Teens



Young drivers, ages 15- to 20-years old, are especially vulnerable to death and injury on our roadways – traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers in America. Mile for mile, teenagers are involved in three times as many fatal crashes as all other drivers.

Top Three Oddest Driving Laws in Texas:

Odd Texas Driving Law #1: 
When a driver is cited with a DUI, he or she, as well as the rest of his car, loses their license.
And let the heated conversation begin. I can just sense your perplexed facial expressions while reading that law. But it’s simple. Lesson of the Day: Don’t drive drunk. Not only will you lose your license, but your car will too!



Odd Texas Driving Law #2: 
It is illegal to drive without windshield wipers; however, you are allowed not to have a windshield. Well I hope those are some very fast wipers! I’m saying superhero-blocks-all-bugs-while-going-down-the-highway fast.



Odd Texas Driving Law #3: 
In Galveston, Texas it is illegal to drive your car down Broadway before noon on Sundays.
