Not to be confused with the classic "Last Date" movie found on this site and also talking about "teenacide", this is a pretty standard driver safety ffilm that asks teenagers to slow down otherwise facing the dreaded "teenacide". Nothing really out of the ordinary here, except that bizarre statistic at the beginning of the ffilm that seems to imply that the best drivers are between the ages of five and 14!
