This week, and every week, parents should have conversations with their teens about the important rules they need to follow to stay safe behind the wheel of a motor vehicle.
These rules address the greatest dangers for teen drivers:
distracted driving (texting while driving)
impaired driving (alcohol and drugs)
inconsistent or no seat belt use
number of passengers
speeding
Even if you think they aren't listening, they are. Remember, set the rules before they hit the road.
