Safe Driving for Teens
Alternate Names : Automobile Safety - Teenage Drivers, Driving and Teenagers, Teens and Safe Driving
Reducing accidents
Parents should discuss "household driving rules" with their teens and help their new drivers stick to them. For example, parents may want to encourage their teens to call without consequence rather than to get in a car with a driver who has been drinking. However, should the parents discover that their teenager has been driving and drinking, the parent might ask the state to suspend the license until the teenager is 18. (In many states the parent must sign for a teenager under 18 to obtain a driver's license. At any time before the 18th birthday a parent can refuse responsibility and the state will take the license.)
