NEW! The conversation that saves lives: By Larry Copeland, USA Today

As a parent, do you know what your state's GLD laws are? Does your teen? Did you know that the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day has been dubbed by auto club AAA and Volvo as "The 100 Deadliest Days" for teen drivers?

Today, parents are paying the price for not knowing the dangers of teen driving. "The research and our experience tells us that the earlier we can get parents engaged in this dialogue and the longer we can keep them engaged, the more likely their teens will be safer drivers," says Peter Kissinger, president and CEO of AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.

The way we figure it, if we get you to spend some time here, you'll figure out how scary distracted driving really is. Maybe you'll make your own safe driving promise. And the next time you slide behind the wheel, maybe you remember that life's not worth risking for an "OMG" text.
