25.01.2022 Wondering what you, as a parent can do, to keep your kids safe on the road? Many parents probably wish they could just ban their child from driving, or getting in a car with anyone other than themselves until they were 25. You are welcome to try this, but as plan it has some very obvious flaws. Some less drastic steps could be:... * Model safe and responsible driving, including not texting or talking on our mobile phone while driving. * Insist on a limit to the number of passengers your teenager is allowed to have (1 being preferable). * Similarly insist they are to be the only passenger if they are in a car driven by another teenager. * Insist your teenager not drive late at night. * Enforce these rules by removal of keys for a period if the rules are violated. * Stress the dangers of driving and alcohol. Give them another option to take up (without fear of punishment) if they are out and have been drinking or are with a driver who has been drinking. Continue to regularly supervise your teenager when they are driving to ensure they are continuing to develop their skills. https://understandingteenagers.com.au/teenagers-cars-a-dea/

25.01.2022 A recent study in the US showed that chance of a 17 year old having a crash in which someone is killed increases by 50% if they have a passenger in the car.
