Fireworks are a quintessential part of summer celebrations, but they can also be incredibly dangerous if not handled correctly. One of the best ways to enjoy fireworks is to attend public firework displays. By leaving the job to professionals, you can enjoy the dazzling show from a safe distance without the risks associated with lighting fireworks yourself.

Week 2 of the 100 Safest Days of Summer Campaign. This week, we continue our initiative aimed at reducing teen traffic crashes and fatalities with the theme: PARENTS POWER UP: SPEAK UP!

Parents play a crucial role in promoting safe driving habits among teenagers by engaging in effective communication, setting clear expectations, and demonstrating appropriate behavior—most teens rely on their guidance when it comes to driving. Collaborating with teens can lead to a shift in driving culture, ultimately resulting in a safer summer.
▪ Establishing rules and monitoring driving can cut the risk of crashes by 50%.
▪ Providing parental feedback can reduce unsafe driving behaviors by 65% to 85%.

To set clear expectations and ensure a safe summer, be sure to download the Parent Checklist at nrsf.org/the-pledge.
