Susie Kessler is an Atlanta mom on a mission. The AJC ran an interested Q&A session with this Kennesaw mom who's urging legislators to mandate that teen drivers (or really, anyone new to driving) sport stickers or decals announcing to the world they are "newly licensed." Kessler believes this warning will help other drivers on the road be more understanding and also allow them a little more space on the road.

Through her non-profit, Caution and Courtesy Driver Alliance, Kessler has sold about 15,000 new driver magnets to households across the country - and her own 16-year-old son, of course, has a decal on his own car. She's now working with a Georgia senator to bring forward a bill that would mandate the stickers for new drivers. This, she says, would keep kids from being embarrassed, since everyone would be required to have one.

Car accidents are the #1 killer of teens in the United States. Do you think new driver decals will help keep kids safe on the roads?

Looking for an event just for kids this Fourth of July? There are plenty of options around town, but one that may be right for you is the Radio Disney celebration at Atlantic Station. This event is from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m., so it is perfect for younger kids who may be scared of the nighttime fireworks or tuckered out by nightfall.

The Radio Disney Road Crew will descend on Atlantic Station with old fashioned fun and games including clowns, face painting, caricatures, a cake walk, relay races and live music from Atlanta band The Well Reds. The best part? All activities are free!

The AJC Peachtree Road Race is a beloved Fourth of July tradition in Atlanta. It winds through Buckhead and Midtown from Lenox Square Mall all the way to Piedmont Park. However, it also creates a traffic headache and can throw a wrench in your travel plans if you forget to plan ahead. Essentially, you'll want to avoid Peachtree as much as possible on July 4th, there will be rolling closures throughout the day. In addition, there is an area of Piedmont Rd near Ralph McGill that will actually be closed as early as July 2. The AJC has an interactive map of street closures to keep you updated.
