Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for drivers ages 14-18 in the United States. Twelve percent of teenaged drivers who were involved in a crash were distracted at the time of the crash, and in 2011, 505 people died in crashes in which a teen driver had alcohol in their system. With the rise in the number of teen driving-related issues appearing in our courts, it is important for judges to be able to recognize teen driving issues such as distracted and impaired driving, and determine effective ways in which to sentence these young drivers. During this webcast Judge Schiff will discuss the risks related to young drivers, and discuss how to develop strategies for imposing innovative and effective sentences for young drivers.
