Parents!
Be the example your children need. If you refrain from speeding, using a cell phone, buckle up, and respect others on the road, your teenager will follow your example.
- Practice with your new driver.
- Limit nighttime driving
- Talk to your teens about the dangers that they face on the road.
- Texting, impaired driving, drowsy driving are all things that can be avoided if they see a Safety 4 Life presentation that explains to your teen about the legal and economic consequences of disobeying the law.
