State Rep McDermed to Host Teen Driving Safety Seminar

State Representative Margo McDermed , acknowledging that distracted driving is a major concern amongst teens, is hosting a teen driving safety seminar. The seminar is taking place on May 9th from 11am-1pm at the New Lenox Village Hall. The Illinois Secretary of State’s office will be on hand with safety information and information about the Graduated Driving License program. Different rules and laws exist for teen drivers at different ages and it is important to understand this information to avoid getting in trouble. There will also be a distracted driving simulator so teens can see just how dangerous it can be to use a cellphone or get distracted in any other way while driving. Space is limited so please have your teen registered by emailing mcdermed@ilhousegop.org.
