It all comes down to experience and attitude

The safety of your teen driver has many factors - many of which you can't control. Things like other drivers, a mechanical malfunction (although these are often preventable too), animals all can lead to your teen driver having an accident or getting hurt. But almost every piece of research available comes to the same conclusions concerning what teens themselves lack:

1) Experience
2) The right attitude

Did you know it is recommended that a new driver get a minimum of 100 supervised hours of training before driving alone? and about 20% of this should occur at night, where conditions are much more conducive accidents.

It is also a good idea to have your teen driver take a driving attitude assessment. This tool allows you to get a grasp of where your teen might be opening himself up for trouble - are they susceptible to road rage, peer pressure, or just plain nervous?

We have two free tools for you to use in these areas. If you would like a FREE copy of our 16 week home study driver course for teens, just click HERE. We also provide a free GPS system and free installation of the system for our clients with teen drivers. With this system you get an online driver assessment report for your teen.

If you have any questions, my office would love to help. Just give us a call at 849-0390.

Thanks!
