Newly Licensed on CNN

Tagging teen drivers for their protection - CNN.com

Young Adult Driver Task Team member Susan Kessler's program, "Caution--Newly Licensed," was featured on CNN this morning.

Kessler has developed signs for teens with learner permits and first-year licenses. They are attached magnetically to the car's sheet metal and display the words "Caution Newly Licensed."

It's not hard to imagine the signs being a nightmare to teens obsessed with what their peers think. But, Kessler, a Kennesaw, Georgia, mother of six, says the real horror is out on the highway: thousands of young people are killed and injured in traffics every year.
More than 15,000 of people have ordered the signs since Kessler and a group of other moms introduced them four years ago
