Sac&Co - Dangers of distracted driving

UC Davis Children's Hospital Pediatric Surgery Nurse Practitioner, Robyn Lao, discusses the dangers of teen distracted driving.

And while parents may be excited for their newly licensed teens, it is important to remember to discuss the dangers of distracted driving before handing over the keys.
