BUT AT HOME EN SAFE DRIVING HABITS
teen is prepared for life on the road and what to expect while driving, they need to gain experience. Allow them to drive through heavy traffic and unique weather conditions. It will give them the insight and confidence they need to continue driving and practicing safe habits.
When we think about the rules of the road, most people focus on cars or trucks. But what some may need to remember is that cyclists also have a right to the roads! However, it can be dangerous, especially for those who use the roadways. Cyclists can ride their bikes on the sidewalks, interstates, and highways, unless the Texas Transportation Commission prohibits such use on the roads within its jurisdiction by order or resolution. Cyclists have the same responsibilities as car and truck drivers. That means traveling at safe speeds, being mindful of surroundings and potential hazards, using signals to convey intent, obeying traffic signs and laws, and so forth. But there are no light signals on a bicycle, so cyclists must use hand signals to indicate what they plan to do or where they want to go. The cyclists must use the following signs: SHARING THE LANE RIDE SAFE SO YOU CAN RIDE AGAIN
Let your teen take the wheel (literally). We’ve all heard the term backseat driving, and some of us may be guilty of this act. When riding with your teen, you may want to take the initiative and tell them what they should or shouldn’t do. However, allowing them to take the lead and follow their instincts is best. You don’t want to put them in danger, so tell them if there’s a hazard ahead. But give them the freedom to make their own decisions and use their judgment. While you can’t predict and change how other drivers react, you can provide your teen with the resources, insight, and confidence they need to become safe and well-rounded drivers. But accidents can still occur — no matter how prepared and safe you are. So, if you need assistance, please allow your friends at Harmonson Law Firm to help. Allow us to take some of the weight off your shoulders during this time.

What are the nighttime laws? Cyclists can ride at night as long as they follow the proper precautions. Cyclists can use a headlamp on the front of the bicycle that emits white light visible from at least 500 feet in front of the bike. Or they can use a red reflector/red lamp that’s visible from 500 feet from the rear of the bicycle.
