A recent medical study examined motor vehicle fatality exposure rates and found that, per mile traveled, African American and Hispanic male teenagers (13-19 years old) are nearly twice as likely to die in a motor vehicle crash as male teenagers who are white.
The mission of the MAKUS Buckle Up! Drive Safely! organization is to inform, mentor and foster good driving habits through comprehensive teen driver education, awareness, and advocacy in order to save lives and reduce serious injury.
