"As the newest generation of teen drivers prepares to hit the road, we want to help them celebrate their newfound freedom and the responsibility that comes along with it," said Leif Roll, Marketing Vice President for State Farm.

"That's why we're partnering with one of the hottest acts in country music, The Band Perry, to connect with teens through music and shine a spotlight on teen driver safety."

For more than 30 years, car crashes have been the leading cause of death of teens, with the first year of driving typically being the most dangerous.

The purpose of Celebrate My Drive is to eradicate this public health crisis, by engaging teens in positive conversations about safe, distraction-free driving.

The Celebrate My Drive program encourages teens and their families to adopt responsible driving practices like 2N2: 2 eyes on the road and 2 hands on the wheel.

Last year, more than six million safe driving commitments were made in communities across North America.
