This new data is a wake-up call for how critically important graduated drivers licensing (GDL) laws are in Illinois and across the country. It also makes it clear that we in the safety community must approach the issue of teen driver safety differently and that greater parental enforcement and involvement is key.

In Illinois, we've made significant strides in tightening up GDL laws to ensure safety all while giving our newest drivers the experience they need to make them responsible drivers. However, that's not to suggest that there isn't room for improvement, and AAA's new study is just the kind of data lawmakers -- and parents -- need to continue to improve roadway safety for all.

Parents who understand the risks recognize that it is important to keep teens from riding with other teens, even if it means playing 'chauffer' for one more year.

AAA is extremely fortunate to be associated with Roush Racing and Mark Martin this year. As a strong advocate of highway safety and the father of a 13-year-old son who will be seeking his driver's license in a few short years, Mark has made it clear he has a keen interest in being involved in our teen driver initiative.

AAA's great legacy is our service to the AAA member. Everything we do in insurance, travel and automotive revolves around providing the best value and service to the member. And, I truly believe that our focus on our members -- particularly our advocacy for them as motorists and on matters of traffic safety -- is the underlying reason why our organization has maintained its relevancy for more than 100 years.

I think the hallmark of the organization is built around the membership. The members recognize that AAA has stood not only for running a business, but it's an organization that has advocated for traffic safety.

When people become part of the auto club, they get a better understanding of what we're about and what we can offer. It's our hope that if they become part of the auto club, they will look at our insurance products, and if they buy a policy for their vehicle, they also will consider a policy for their home.

We don't lose a tremendous amount of members annually, but it's still a big number to replace every year.
