Before your child gets behind the wheel for the first time, have a talk with them about the dangers of being out on the road. Have a heart-to-heart discussion of why it's important to follow safety rules and why those rules exist. They may dismiss your thoughts at first, but persist. Here are some safe driving tips you can talk to your new driver about:
1. Never drink and drive. That impairs your judgement, and it could cause and accident and land them in jail.
2. Don't text and drive. This is quickly becoming the number one killer for young drivers on the road today.
3. Obey all traffic laws and stay under the speed limit.
4. Drive defensively.
Making sure your young driver understands these simple concepts and follows them, the better driver they're going to be. Your young driver will agree to follow these rules if they want to be behind the wheel.
