Driving is a rite of passage for many teens. It’s the first taste of freedom they will enjoy as young adults, and it often accompanies additional responsibilities and freedoms, such as a first job, a later curfew, and more options for spending time with friends.

However, teens face risks when they start navigating the roadways. Before your teen gets behind the wheel on their own, ensure they understand these safe driving tips and precautions.

Distracted Driving Dangers From cell phones to food, distractions are abundant in the car, and while there are now more warnings about the dangers of distracted driving, the message isn’t fully clicking for some young drivers. In 2018, nearly 40% of high school students admitted to texting or emailing while driving. Instead of relying on lessons about distracted driving, look to tools that can help you limit it. Apps like TrueMotion and Life360 can track the habits of drivers in your family. These apps will send notifications about any possible concerns, monitor phone usage, and even provide emergency detection. This information provides parents with the data they need to teach valuable lessons to their teens and monitor their habits. Defensive Driving A good driver is always alert. Rather than looking for an opportunity to race past another driver or beat the light, good drivers are focused on maintaining safety and following the rules of the road. Learning these defensive driving techniques can prepare your teen driver for a lifetime of safe driving habits. Studies regularly show that speeding only shaves minutes off the time it takes to get to your ultimate destination, and those minutes saved actually decrease as the distance between your starting point and end location does. Show your teen these studies to sell the point, and for your peace of mind, look into apps that track your teen’s speed, such as AT&T’s Drive Mode or Verizon’s Hum. While it’s important that you mind your teen’s right to some additional freedom and responsibility, tracking their driving habits now can guide necessary corrections and promote safe driving habits later. Regardless of how well you prepare your teen, an accident may happen. Our team can help you fight for the compensation your teen deserves, along with a number of additional legal concerns your family may face as a result of an accident.
