West Bend And Road America: Partners In Keeping Teen Drivers Safe

As a parent of a teen driver, I know how nerve racking it can be when your child gets a license and begins to drive without you in the car, too. While both teens and parents enjoy the newfound freedom, parents need to remain cautious and continue to teach. You can’t rely only on what they learned in driver’s education.

Parental involvement is one key way to help protect your teen driver(s). Consider setting rules, signing a parent/teen driving contract, and being a good example. If you drive while distracted, speed, or run red lights, your teen driver will probably do the same. You know the old saying, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
