"I have a 21 year old, and 18 year old, and a 16 year old so I am passionately interested in this issue. Our two older ones are sons and they drove the requisite 40 maybe 50 hours [when they got their licenses]. We're having our daughter drive 100 hours before she gets her license."
Stacy Kurnot, State Executive Director, MADD, with daughter Jill
"I think if the average teenager knew the facts, then they'd make a better choice. ... Will [my daughter] ever drive with other teenagers? No. It's not going to happen. It's the same thing with the drinking. Give them the facts and they're like, 'You know what? This isn't worth it.'"
