Health, Safety & the Environment

After the tragic death of his son, Reid, Tim Hollister, a Hartford attorney, launched a blog to provide an educational forum to enhance parent awareness of the risks involved with teen driving. The blog, From Reid’s Dad, is written  purposefully by a parent for parents of teen drivers and focusing on good, safe, parent decision-making about when and how they should supervise teen driving, as opposed to providing instruction on how to handle a vehicle.  The blog provides the grim statistic that driving fatality is the leading cause of death in the United States for people under twenty years of age.  If you are the parent (or friend) of a teen driver, this blog is an excellent source of practical information concerning accident prevention and driving safety.  Tim Hollister discusses how the loss of his son resulted in his becoming involved in teen driving issues in an article appearing in the October 12, 2009 edition of the Connecticut Law Tribune.
