Journal of Safety Research -- Parents Play Integral Role in Learning to Drive Process

Journal of Safety Research -- This study, led by Lela Jacobsohn, PhD, a member of the Young Driver Research team at CHOP, underscores the integral role parents play in the learning-to-drive process. The researchers surveyed 945 parents of recently licensed teens and found that teens were more likely to have received at least 50 hours of adult-supervised driving practice when two parents were involved in their driving eduction and if they lived in a state where Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) law mandated this level of practice driving. The research was funded by State Farm®.
