So, what does a parent think while sitting in the passenger seat and their teen is driving with a permit license? A “bump” in the parking lot with another car? Traffic tickets for moving violations? Insurance rates sky-rocketing?
If you visit search engines you can find several resources to assist you on this subject. Try searching on the phrase “parents with teen drivers”. Alternatively we have tried to make this easy for you if you visit our news page on this very topic:

A few resources on the web for parents are:
Parent-Teen Contract
You might also consider using a driving safety contract between you and your teen. This is an agreement that your child signs, in which he agrees to be a safe driver by following all restrictions you have imposed or risk losing his driving privileges. An example of this can be found at:
http://www.ipromiseprogram.com/
The I Promise Program is designed to reduce the risk of youth related car crashes, injuries and deaths and is available to all parents and teens for free. Simply print and complete the Parent-Youth Safe Driving Contract and then for added safety, consider printing the rear window sign and placing it in your car. The contract is available in Spanish as well.
Talk It Out
Work with your teen driver to talk through their thought process while driving. Let’s not over-do this to the point that they cannot concentrate on driving. More specifics can be found in the book for parents at: http://www.safeyoungdrivers.com/
Sixteen is the most dangerous age for drivers, and beginning drivers are the most dangerous on the road. A 16-year-old is twelve times as likely as older drivers to die in a crash as a single occupant. Put two young teens in a vehicle, and the odds of death and injury nearly double. Three or four unsupervised teens in a vehicle is a recipe for disaster. Despite these sobering facts, the requirements for obtaining a drivers license in most states remain minimal. Some don’t even require a learner’s permit. Some allow the permit to be obtained at age 15. Although there have been successful campaigns to install graduated licensing, with sensible restrictions for the youngest drivers, these efforts remain in the minority.
Helpful thoughts for parents in brief are:
* Drive by example
* Watch your emotional response while your teen is driving
* Work with your teen on various driving conditions, not just dry sunny days.
* Large open fields or empty parking lots are good sources for practicing
Of course while you’re working with your teen driver and their permit license, we have to keep the drivers around us in mind too. Auto Safety Magnets has a focus strictly on car safety for teen drivers, their parents and driving schools. Our magnets will increase road awareness and traffic safety. Help keep the roads safe for you and other drivers. We also invite you to sign-up for our free newsletter covering Driving Schools, Car Safety and Teen Drivers at our website.
