Bedford Police to Train Teens on Driving Safety

The Bedford Police Department will be participating in a statewide initiative to prevent meaningless deaths of teenagers in car accidents.

“No Empty Chair” is part of the Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Traffic Safety Committee’s safe teen driver enforcement program.

Every year it’s focused on high school students looking forward to attending their proms and graduation ceremonies.

The “No Empty Chair” theme symbolizes the missing high school senior on graduation day.

The initiative will take place in Bedford April 18-22 and will concentrate but not be limited to the vicinity of high schools.
