The Teen Driving Experience

Some GDL laws are insufficient, causing parents to sign parent-teen driving contracts with their children.

Look at safe driving tech for teens including blind-spot monitoring and forward-collision warnings.

Audis, Volvos, Cadillacs, Lexuses, and Jeeps have the lowest rates of injuries in teen driver accidents.

43 percent of drivers ages 16 to 18 admit to speeding.

90 percent of drivers ages 18 to 24 talk on the phone while driving, while 80 percent text.

16-year-olds are more likely to get into any kind of crash by 45 percent and fatal crashes by 32 percent.

Most states impose restrictions on whom your teen can drive with, when they can drive, and how they can use electronic devices while driving, if at all.

While you can’t study for your child, you can help them along the way, quizzing them and making sure they get a good breakfast on the mornings of their written, visual, and road exams.

You’ll have to add your teenager to your car insurance policy, making sure they are covered under your state’s requirements at a minimum.
