Safe Road Home : Stop Your Teen From Drinking & Driving

Drinking and driving tragedies aren’t accidents—they can be prevented. Read this book, watch the film, and start talking with your teen now.

 

On a typical weekend in America, one teenager dies in a car crash every hour. Almost half of the crashes involve alcohol. This book, and the accompanying DVD of the Parents’ Choice award–winning HBO documentary Smashed: Toxic Tales of Teens and Alcohol, aim to help parents talk to their teen about drinking and driving by challenging the “It can’t happen to me” myth. Safe Road Home takes a brutally honest look at this subject, featuring detailed advice, new research, and safe-driving tips from leading experts. For parents and teens alike, the book also includes quizzes, solutions to everyday scenarios, a Smashed viewing guide, and true stories about teens who survived alcohol-related crashes—and some who did not.
