More About Driving Safety
Our
hope is to reduce the number of teen deaths and injuries from the #1 killer
of teens: car crashes. Many teen drivers are over-confident and
under-experienced, a dangerous combination often made light of with “kids will be
kids.”
Parents
can easily suffer information overload once their teen starts the Permit
Application process. PennDOT, the
family physician, the Driver Education instructor, the insurance agent, the
car dealer, the neighbor, the friends’ parents, and then there is the
internet and 495,000+ Google
results for “teen driver.”
What
you need is a Reader’s Digest version via this website and our
publications. Important information
in bite-size pieces, with links for those who want more.
We trust parents will find the tools and information available
here to be helpful both in teaching their teen how to drive safely, and in gradually increasing
driving privileges. Greater
privileges are dependent upon proven responsibility, dependability, and improved
(uneventful) driving ability.

What
Car Should They Drive? Probably not the one they
want! Cars are a lot like shoes, the
best looking are not always the best choice for safe transportation.
There a lot of variables to
consider in this decision beyond the obvious “how much will insurance cost?” and “what kind of
mileage does it get?” The best
car for your family may not be the best choice for someone else. These links will help you choose your best
fit.
