Your Role as a Parent
Selecting the right vehicle is only
part of keeping your teen safe
on the road. Parents also need to
help their teen learn to operate
the vehicle safely, which can be
achieved by following through in
three primary areas: selecting a
quality driver-training program,
conducting effective supervised
driving and establishing a
parent-teen driving agreement.
Training
A good training program can reinforce positive
driving techniques and defensive driving practices.
Driving schools shouldn’t be selected solely on
cost, course length or geographic convenience.
Be sure to consider a program’s quality as well.
Driving may be the riskiest activity in which your
teen engages, so getting the best possible training
is vital.
