Have You Had “The Talk” With Your Parents?

Sometimes parents can play it off like “they are great drivers” or “excellent multitaskers’”. The truth? We all play a role in safe driving!

Take the time to have “The Talk” with your parents.

This infographic poster can be displayed around your high school or community group location to help educate on the importance of safe driving. You have a total of 5 infographic posters per kit to hang in various areas of your school/community group. 

Tips for Talking with Parents:  

Teens can use this conversational “tip card” to begin the dialogue with their parent(s) on the importance of safe driving. We’ve also included some ideas on ways teens can speak up if their parent drives distracted. We recommend giving each participating student 1 of these tip cards for their usage at home.

Safe Driving Report Card:

Sometimes parents can get a little rusty on their driving skills or safety measures. Use this report card to rate and assess your parents’ driving skills and behavior. Teens will have the option to give a Pass/Fail style grade to their parent’s driving skills. We recommend giving each participating student 2 of these report cards for their usage at home.

Parent Citations:

Ever wish you could turn the tables on you parents for questionable driving behavior? Using our Parent Citations, teens can now issue a “ticket” form to officially “Ground your Parents” for unsafe driving behavior. We advise giving each participating student 3-5 of these citations for their usage at home.

Safe Driving Reminder Tent Cards:

Parents need reminders to drive safe! Studies suggest that it takes multiple interactions to inspire behavior change. Fold these tent card notes and place them in areas where your parents are bound to see them. Plan to provide each participating student 5 of these tent cards for their usage at home.

Safe Driving Reminder Sticky Notes:

Use these sticky note reminders to encourage safe driving behaviors for your parents. Place them around your house where your parents are sure to see them! If you’re printing these at home, just use tape to secure them to a visible surface. Each participating student should received 5 of these tent cards for their usage at home.

Safe Driving Affirmation Card:

Make use of these positive “affirmation” sticky cards to praise a “job well done” when your parents exhibit safe driving habits. We’ve provided examples of areas for positive recognition, and ways you can reward parental safe driving habits. If you’re printing these at home, just use tape to secure them to a visible surface. Plan to give each participating student 5 of these recognition cards for their usage at home.
