Independence, MO —April 7, 2025 — As teen drivers face unprecedented challenges on the road, Horn Law is stepping up with a new resource designed to help parents take the lead in protecting their children behind the wheel. Lead attorney Doug Horn has authored “Teen Driver Protection: A Parent’s Guide to Teen Driving Safety,” a free downloadable guide available now at https://hornlaw.com/protecting-teen-drivers.
Based on Horn’s 30 years of experience investigating serious motor vehicle accidents, the guide provides parents with a clear, actionable roadmap to reduce the risks their teens face as new drivers. It comes at a time Horn describes as a “new universe of roadway risk” —marked by increasingly distracted, aggressive, and high-speed driving behaviors that make today’s roads far more dangerous than those of previous generations.
“In my work reviewing thousands of crash reports and medical records, I’ve seen how today’s accidents have become more violent and complex,” said Horn. “Teens are especially vulnerable, and with driver’s ed disappearing from many schools, it’s more important than ever for parents to take a proactive role in preparing their teens for the road.”
The Teen Driver Protection guide offers practical strategies, including:
- Techniques for building driving skills under supervision
- A downloadable Parent-Teen Driving Contract
- Advice for limiting high-risk driving situations (like night driving and peer passengers)
- Guidance on managing smartphone distraction
- Insights on emotional maturity and readiness
Horn emphasizes that helping teens become safe drivers is not just about logging hours behind the wheel—it’s about instilling awareness, responsibility, and the discipline to make good decisions in a high-risk environment.
As part of the campaign, Horn Law is also launching a partnership program, aimed at working with healthcare professionals across the Kansas City area to make printed copies of the guide available for free in waiting rooms and clinics, ensuring parents have easy access to this vital resource.
