Curfew for Alabama Teen Drivers
The Alabama Injury Lawyer Blog has posted an article about a new proposistion that would restrict teenage drivers.
The Alabama House of Representatives has voted on a curfew bill that says drivers ages 16-17 must be off the road by 10pm on weeknights and 11pm on weekends.
The purpose of this is to make the roads safer.
According to the sponsor of the bill, Mac Gipson of Prattville, teen drivers make up fifteen percent of all highways deaths but only six percent of drivers are teens. Thus, teen drivers account for a disproportionate amount of fatal accidents on Alabama highways.
