Car accidents are the leading cause of death for kids, teens, and young adults — but so many are preventable. In this episode, I sit down with my dad, pediatrician Dr. Andrew Matthew (and the safest driver I know!), to talk about what parents and teens can do to stay safe on the road.

Using information from this recent article:

Motor Vehicle Crash Prevention, New England Journal of Medicine, Vol 393, Issue 5 (July 31 2025)

We discuss:

  • Why car accidents are the #1 cause of death for ages 5–29
  • How texting while driving raises your crash risk 23-fold
  • Practical tips for teaching teens to drive safely
  • The truth about speeding, tailgating, and road rage
  • When technology helps — and when it hurts
  • Smart ways to talk to kids about car safety

If you’ve got a new driver at home, carpool often, or just want to be more mindful behind the wheel, this episode is full of practical, potentially life-saving tips.

Your Child is Normal is the trusted podcast for parents, pediatricians, and child health experts who want smart, nuanced conversations about raising healthy, resilient kids.
