Parents who ensure that teens get ample practice in a wide
variety of situations and transfer their safe driving wisdom to their novice
drivers are more likely to help their teens develop the necessary skills to be
safer drivers, according to a series of research studies from the AAA
Foundation for Traffic Safety. In step with AAA’s advice that parents should
spend more time with their teen drivers so they can build as much experience as
possible before driving solo, these new findings provide evidence as to how
parents can most effectively work with their teens.
