Myth: Parking lots are safer because speeds are lower.
Reality: Parking lots are one of the most common places for minor crashes and close calls.
Why?
• Distracted drivers
• Backing vehicles
• Pedestrians
• Limited visibility
Many new drivers underestimate how quickly situations can change in parking lots.

MYTH: “Speeding saves a lot of time.”
REALITY: Most drivers overestimate how much time they actually save.
According to a study by AAA Colorado, driving 80 mph instead of 75 mph would require traveling 100 miles just to save about 5 minutes.
For the average driver? Speeding only saves about 26 seconds per day.
Meanwhile, speeding reduces reaction time and increases crash severity, especially for new drivers.
💡 Slow down. Arrive safely. Colorado lost more than 1,200 lives to speeding between 2021 and 2025. Those few extra seconds aren’t worth the risk.

Many crashes involving teen drivers don’t happen because teens don’t know the rules — they happen because of small mistakes that add up quickly.
From the perspective of law enforcement officers who have seen it firsthand:
✔ Put the phone away — distraction is one of the biggest risks for new drivers.
✔ Slow down — even a few miles over the limit reduces reaction time.
✔ Limit passengers — friends in the car dramatically increase crash risk.
✔ Always buckle up — it’s still one of the simplest ways to prevent serious injury.
The safest drivers aren’t just skilled — they’re focused and aware of what’s happening around them.
At TopCops, our instructors bring real-world experience from law enforcement and first responder backgrounds to help teens build the habits that keep them safe on the road. Learn more at topcopsdrivingschool.com
