First Years Drivers — How can Parents help?
The high injury and fatality rates during the first five years of driving demonstrate why varied, ling-term training is required. Parents can help their children become safer drivers by ensuring that new drivers build skill and confidence as they develop good driving habits during supervised practice sessions. Parents, new drivers and driver education instructors working together as a team can develop driving behaviors that will reduce motor vehicle crashes. Parents and guardians can play a significant role in developing safe driving habits in the teenage population. Share your hands-on experience as well as your feelings about driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, peer pressure, cultural values, safety restraints, emotional control and social responsibilities. For driver training to be effective, parents and teenagers must communicate with each other. A parent-teen agreement or contract on vehicle use is an excellent way to ensure safe performance, economical operation and responsible behavior.
