Mitsubishi Lancer, 2007: The Weekly Driver
In recent years, Mitsubishi has touted its sports cars with a series of overproduced television commercials. In one spot, several pretty young women are singing and smiling and zipping around under flashing city lights and through tunnels somehow equipped with multicolored lasers. The women seemingly don’t have a care in the world. They’re on the town. They’re having a grand time. They’re driving really fast and techno-pop tunes are blaring. Combine that group with young male drivers with the same wont to go fast and a likely desire to catch-up to their female counterparts somewhere at the end of the tunnel and you’ve got a captive audience ready and willing to buy Mitsubishi’s speed demon, the Lancer Evolution.

Creating a Family Plan for Teenage Drivers
September 2006 (Medialink) - Learning to drive is a rite of passage. But for teenagers, it’s a dangerous time. Did you know that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers? So what can parents do to help reduce the risks for their teenage drivers? Experts say the first thing to do is to map out a family plan. A family plan and contract has to include at least two things: one, a restriction on nighttime driving; and two, a restriction on passengers. Teens have to know that they are at a much higher risk when they drive at night and with other passengers in the car. Parents can contribute directly to their child’s safety by requiring them to use safety belts at all times. They should also encourage their teen drivers to never drink while driving or ride with anyone who has been drinking.
