As the school year begins, the roads get riskier — especially for teen drivers. On this episode of Road Gang Radio, host Jimmy Mac is joined by Doug Horn, veteran personal injury attorney and nationally recognized Teen Driver Safety Advocate.

Doug explains why back-to-school season is one of the most dangerous times for new drivers and how parents can prepare their teens for safety behind the wheel. From his ABCD Method (Alert, Buckled, Cautious, Defensive) to his free Teen Driver Protection Guide, Doug shares practical strategies for families to protect their children from the dangers of distracted commutes, packed school zones, and hurried morning routines.

Parents: This isn’t just about handing over the keys — it’s about teaching responsibility for life.
