According to the National Center for Health Statistics, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of deaths for 15-20 year olds. But thankfully there are things you can do to prevent your kids from becoming a statistic.
The driving experts at AAA offer some great advice for you and your family, to help your teen develop important habits they need to stay alive when they drive.
- As a parent, you can be a positive role model with your own safe driving behavior.
- Give your teen plenty of practice time driving with you.
- Eliminate distractions like cell phones, eating, drinking, or music.
- Create a parent-teen driving agreement that establishes clear rules, expectations and consequences for driving behavior. This helps to remind your teen that driving is a privilege, and not a right.
Check out the AAA site for more tips on how to help your teen become a responsible driver, including a downloadable copy of the parent teen driving agreement.
