The Utah public driver education program is dedicated to new teen driver education, raising awareness, and seeking solutions to prevent teen driving-related deaths and injuries on the road.

We advocated for preventive measures that would address the common factors—distractions, fatigue, impairment, speeding, and lack of seat belt use—contributing to teen driving-related crashes, deaths, and injuries. The Utah driver education program recommends and advocates for robust graduated driver license (GDL) programs that include cell phone, passenger, and nighttime driving restrictions. We would also like to see collision avoidance and other vehicle safety technologies to be standard on all vehicles. Finally, we encourage adoption of a Safe System Approach to protect all road users from death and serious injury.
