This is Loretta Worters, vice president at the Insurance Information Institute. What follows are two radio actualities based on written quotes from the news release on teen drivers.
Segment 1
“Teens think they are indestructible and often engage in risk-taking behavior. They are distracted by things they shouldn’t do in a car like eating, talking on their cellphones, text messaging, talking to friends in the car and they often don’t wear seatbelts”
Segment 2
“Contact your insurance agent when your teen is about to get his or her learner’s permit. Your agent will explain the costs involved in insuring a teen driver. The good news is, as your teenager gets older, insurance rates will drop—providing he or she has a good driving record.”
