Affordability, safety and reliability are important considerations in vehicle selection. Equally important is preparing your teen to drive. The road ahead may be less worrisome if your teen driver has participated in a certified driver training program.
A good training program can reinforce the importance of good driving techniques and defensive driving practices. Many states offer instruction through local high schools. In addition, organizations such as AAA offer driver education programs in video and CD-ROM format, as well as information on travel safety and aggression prevention.
Most parents are anxious about watching their offspring drive away in his or her own car. The best way for BOTH of you to enjoy personal freedom and mobility is to help your teen be more responsible before he or she takes to the highway. Teens who have been trained properly are more confident behind the wheel.
If you would like to learn more about selecting your teen's first car or driver training programs available in your area, contact your nearest AAA office or visit the related links section listed above.
