St. Charles Driving School

St. Charles parents want their teenagers to learn to drive in a stress free environment. They also want their children to learn to drive safely. St. Charles, Missouri has less car accidents than the national average, but still records about 80 accidents monthly including 8-10 fatal accidents annually. The professional driving instructors at Missouri Driving School put safety at the forefront of each learning experience. This includes instilling a respect for the safety of passengers into each new driver, and also promoting the idea of driver safety into passengers, too.

In 2019, the We Save Lives and National Road Safety Foundation launched The National Passenger Safety Campaign, which brought like-minded organizations to focus on the passenger, not just the driver. The goal is to promote safe driving practices and prevent unsafe ones by empowering passengers to speak up when they notice possible danger due to an irresponsible, reckless or impaired driver. In January 2023, the National Highway Transportation Safety Board (NHTSA) added National Passenger Safety Week to its calendar to be recognized annually the last week of January.

Drivers and passengers in St. Charles, Missouri are encouraged to take this time to consider responsibilities of both drivers and passengers to safely reach your destination. In 2020, 16% of all traffic fatalities were passengers. Over half of teenage passengers who died in vehicle accidents occurred when another teenager was driving. The total number of passengers killed in vehicle accidents in 2020 was 6,275.
