Safety Tips You Can Use
 

  Young Drivers:

  • Take control as a passenger as well as a driver. Encourage your friends to use good judgement. Don't ride with drivers that take dangerous risks.
  • You are the only one who controls your behavior. You can't control driving conditions like weather, light, the road, traffic, or other drivers, but you can control how you prepare for and react to them.
  • Consider consequences. You are responsible for the choices you make. When you make a decision, remember that you are the one who will face the consequences.
  • When your friends pressure you, concentrate on driving. Your friends will most likely stop pressuring you once they see you are the one who will face the consequences.
  • Call for a ride  for your friends when they are acting unruly in your car or if in a situation involving alcohol or drugs.
  • Practice. Get as much supervised driving as possible as you work towards your full privilege drivers license.

 

Parents:

  • Set a good example. Reinforce good driving behaviors by using them.
  • Get involved. Teach good driving driving behaviors. Supervise your teen's driving and impose restrictions on where and when they drive.
  • Practice. Let your teen drive when you're in the car together. Let them get their driving practice with you, not their friends.
  • Talk to your teen about peer pressure, underage drinking, and drug use.
  • Teen Parent Program is the newest program we offer. A real committment is made during this class by the parent.
