Driving Book for Teens


Book Description

Teaching Your Teenager To Drive Carefully And Safely - Expert Tips And Advice For Parents And Teenage Boys And Girls For most teenagers, knowing how to drive is the first significant step towards freedom, adulthood, and independence. But make no mistake because the very first year or two of driving are also among the most dangerous times of your teenager's life. So, how can you as a parent prepare your teenage boy or girl to be safe, good drivers and keep them that way? The good news is - there are detailed, proven steps parents can take to get the best results they want. Motor vehicle accidents are the top cause of death for U.S. teens, and car crashes are the leading cause of death for teens between the ages of 16-19-year-olds. In 2017, six teens died every day, and hundreds more suffered injuries in car crashes. This is against drivers 20 years and above, the risk of being involved in a fatal accident is three times as great for teens who are 16-19, and new drivers have a crash rate 1.5 times higher than drivers who are 18 and 19 years old. It's gut-wrenching, shocking that the problem is still this big; 16 and 17-year-olds are far over-represented in fatal car crashes, more so than any other age group. However, crash data reveals that one of the three main reasons for teen car crashes include speeding, drinking and driving, and distraction. I know that the statistics are sobering; however, parents hold the keys to helping their teenagers beat these odds and teaching them how best to drive to avert many impending dooms. It requires sticking to what this book represents to keep teenagers safe before, during, and after learning to drive. So, if you are interested in teaching your kids to be a good driver to help sharpen their driving knowledge skills and mitigate the number of car accidents on our roads, then get a COPY of this BOOK today.
