Teen drivers in Southern Nevada are getting a sobering lesson in road safety. The Teen Driver Safety Day at UNLV put young drivers face-to-face with the real-world consequences of reckless driving, especially when impaired or distracted behind the wheel.

UNLV, in collaboration with traffic safety advocates, is taking proactive steps to address the alarming rate of teen fatalities on Nevada roadways by hosting its annual Drive Safety Day.

UNLV hosted the event where they portrayed a crash and provided insight from traffic investigators.

With almost 200 death in the state of Nevada in just six months, authorities and organizations are intensifying efforts with new drivers. A UNLV workshop seeks to raise awareness among teenagers before they get behind the wheel.

A life-saving educational opportunity for teen drivers is happening today at UNLV. The 9th annual Teen Driver Safety Day is taking place on campus. Teens will witness a crash reenactment. It's all about teaching young drivers about the devastating consequences of drinking and driving. They'll follow victims through emergency care and court hearings and hear directly from trauma surgeons and first responders.

UNLV is putting teen driver safety in the spotlight Wednesday with a powerful crash simulation. Teen Driver Safety Day is an immersive and emotional experience aimed at saving lives. The day includes a simulated DUI crash, live trauma response, courtroom reenactment, and testimonials from people personally affected by traffic tragedies.

The event will feature a “realistic portrayal” of a crash and its consequences, paired with interactive discussions led by those impacted, such as parents and siblings of DUI victims, first responders, crash investigators, and more. Those who attend will also watch a real judge and UNLV law student demonstrate the legal process following the crash in a mock courtroom.

Seats are still available for the annual Teen Driver Safety Day at UNLV on Wednesday.

The day-long session will be happening at the Carol C. Harter Classroom Building Complex from 7:45 AM to 5:00 PM on the UNLV campus. Erin Breen, the director of UNLV's Road Equity Alliance Project, joined ARC Las Vegas and Evan Schreiber to explain what's on the agenda.

Traffic safety experts across Clark County are utilizing new technology to analyze pedestrian crash trends, all in an effort to save lives and bring solutions to different communities.

Dozens of community members gathered at a pedestrian safety forum with a mission to make the roads safer for everyone across the Las Vegas Valley.

Memorial Day officially kicks off the 100 Deadliest Days of Summer, which is considered the most dangerous time nationally for teenage drivers on roadways. While the period focuses on teen drivers, traffic safety advocates in Nevada stress it’s also a dangerous time for all road users.
