There are plenty of programs, classes and schools dedicated to teaching teens the importance of safe driving, but teenagers are known for their defiant nature and  flippant behavior when it comes to advice given by adults. However, peer-based advocacy groups may be the key to making teens realize the importance of safe behavior behind the wheel.

"Teens are the new generation with a strong voice," said Taylor Mock, a former Project Ignition member. "The more we continue to speak out about this issue, the more people, young and old, will listen."

Project Ignition, a national program backed by State Farm insurance agency and the National Youth Council, helps students design and execute awareness campaigns. Teen drivers are four times more likely to be involved in a vehicular accident than any other group of drivers, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Protection, which is why it is so important for young drivers to understand the dangers of the road.

The organization does not just focus on teens, but it also teaches parents how to best approach their kids about safe driving. Even if they do an exceptional job teaching their kids how to drive defensively, parents may still want to buy an automobile [extended warranty](http://www.compassautowarranty.com/). This will not only cover the cost of maintenance, but it can pay for any repairs should a teen driver get into an accident.
