Teen driving risks are real. While most of us have been new drivers at some point, we don’t always remember the challenges and anxieties that came with it.
Your teen needs your help to stay safe on the road. Your involvement can make a real difference.
Car crashes are the leading cause of preventable death for teens. Are you ready to help keep your teen driver safe? Start here with the Teen & Parent Driving Agreement.
This agreement will help you and your teen talk through important decisions and expectations before they get behind the wheel.
Questions to consider:
-
When can the car be used?
-
Who pays for gas and insurance?
-
What are the rules around major driving risks like passengers and distractions?
The agreement is designed to be flexible and adjustable. No rule or privilege is set in stone. As your teen gains experience, you may choose to grant more responsibility. If your teen breaks the rules, you may need to re-establish or reinforce limits.
