A startling and proven fact: one classroom of
high school students is wiped out every week because of
car accidents.
It is an unbearable statistic, but true. More young
Canadians are killed in automobile accidents than by any
other cause.
Young drivers as a group are involved in more
automobile accidents than any other drivers. This is the'
simple reason insurance rates are higher for them.
We, in the automobile insurance industry, pro-
vide training courses, bursaries and technical assistance
to high school instructors to help them teach safe driving
to their students.
Students who pass approved high school driver
training courses earn lower insurance premiums.
At present, only 14% of high schools across
Canada have these driver training courses.
Parents, teachers — just ask yourselves MUst
classroom be wiped out next week?
You can help prevent such tragedies by sup'
porting driver training programmes in your community.
