After
spending 18 years protecting your children from various dangers on the road and
off, you now face the prospect of handing them the car keys. It's time for them
to learn how to drive. We can help you mold (塑造)
you're your teens into safe and capable drivers.
Our
site contains information on driver licensing requirements for teens as well as
ideas to help you—the parents—lay down the ground rules with your young driver
before you hand over the car keys. Here you will find information on the most
common safety problems novice drivers should avoid. Educate yourself
about the consequences of illegal alcohol use, the distracted (分心的) driving, and much more.
Your
teen sees a driver's license as a step toward freedom, but you might not be
sure your teen is ready for the road. One thing is certain: teens aren't ready
to have the same level of driving responsibility as adults. Teen drivers have a
higher rate of serious crashes, mainly because of their immaturity lack of
skills and experience. They speed, make mistakes, and get distracted
easily—especially if their friends are in the car. To help your teen stay safe
behind the wheel, all 50 states have a graduated driver licensing (GDL) system
that limits high-risk driving situations for new drivers. This approach can reduce
your teen's crash risks by as many as 50%.
What
can you do? Learn about your state's GDL laws. Familiarizing yourself with the
restrictions can better assist you in instructing your kids. You must establish
ground rules for your teen driver. Prohibit driving while using the phone or
other electronic devices, and require seat belt use at all times. Remind them
that it is illegal to drink under 21, and it is illegal to drink and drive. If
your child is under 21, his or her blood alcohol concentration (BAC) should
always be at 0.00, not just under 0.08.
