AAA reports that teen drivers are three times more likely to be involved in a deadly crash compared to adults for every mile driven.
According to AAA, teenagers are more prone to car accidents due to several factors such as distracted driving, speeding, and not wearing their safety belts.
According to AAA, parents can take several steps to promote safe driving practices among their teenagers. One of the most effective methods is setting a good example themselves. Additionally, parents can supervise their teen’s practice driving sessions and teach them defensive driving techniques. These approaches can help prepare teen drivers to navigate the roads safely and responsibly.
According to Rachel Wilson, Director of Driver Education Programs at AAA – The Auto Club Group, active involvement from parents is the crucial element in ensuring their teenager’s safe driving. She advises spending time coaching them while they learn to drive and having a serious conversation about the importance of safety. While parents can be excellent teachers, seeking out professional training courses, such as those offered by AAA, can also be beneficial.
