Help Parents Partner With Each Other

Involved parents are your greatest ally in helping to keep teen drivers safe. Encourage parents to partner with each other to share the following messages:

• Parents need to be sure their teens receive at least 50 hours of supervised practice under a wide variety of conditions while learning to drive, as well as careful monitoring for the first year after obtaining their full license.
• Parents need to work with teens to set driving limits and to gradually introduce new privileges when earned.
• Parents need to lead by example. Always wear a seat belt. Don't talk on a cell phone while driving. Don't speed. Follow the rules of the road.
