Teen Driving

Rival schools take up challenge to become safer drivers

December 20, 2007

Students at two McClennan County high schools are more aware of driving dangers than other Texas teenagers, but those students still admit to risky driving behaviors, so the schools will soon go head to head in a challenge to improve safety on the road. The findings are based on surveys at Connally High School and West High School conducted during the fall by the Teens in the Driver Seat (TDS) Program of the Texas Transportation Institute. Learn more in the TDS news release and in the survey results below (or in PDF format [PDF] ).

Survey Results

• Awareness of Top Driving Risks (comparison)
• Teen Self-Reported Behavior (comparison)
• Connally High School Driving Behaviors
• West High School Driving Behaviors
