Driving is a complex skill, especially when you are required to navigate crowded highways, share the road with massive trucks, decipher road signs at 60 mph, maneuver on icy roads and determine how close you should drive compared to other motorists.
As an advocate for motorists and travelers, AAA has produced dozens of pamphlets, videos and more regarding all aspects of driving, including driving in inclement conditions, parking, driving on the freeway, avoiding road rage and more. Through these educational materials, AAA works to keep everyone safe behind the wheel.
Among the items available is the New Driver Packet, a free packet of three brochures designed both for parents and teens. The brochure for teens helps new drivers make good decisions about driving and contains tips on avoiding 10 common bad driving behaviors. Another one for parents offers advice on safeguarding your son or daughter behind the wheel. And the third includes parent-to-parent and parent-to-teen driving contracts that spell out the driving rules parents and teens expect from each other. To order the packet, send a self-addressed, stamped business-size envelope to AAA New Driver Packet, 12901 N. Forty Drive, St. Louis, MO, 63141. Use at least 76 cents postage on the return envelope.
