Laying Down the rules for Your Teen Driver

February 6th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Every state in the US grants the parents with authority to decide whether their sixteen year old child should be allowed to have a driving license. They are the ones to decide if the teen boy is yet ready to take the responsibility in safe driving. The application of a driver’s license itself needs to be signed by one of the parents. Never-the-less, the parents remain shockingly clueless about their son’s magnitude of risk, when something goes wrong.

To avoid such incidents, you, as a parent, must take control. You are the sole judge if your minor child is capable enough to have a driver’s license. No one is more responsible than you are, since you know your teen child more than anyone else.

It is a fact that good driving skills require at least 100 hours of driving under supervision. This would mean that you are exposing the child to all possible road conditions. For a proper start, the driving instruction should ideally begin at a place where it is safe, like an empty parking lot, and slowly moves from there to the actual driving conditions on the road.

The instructions should continue even if your minor child has a license. You should continue to instruct and concentrate on that without any consideration to your convenience. This instruction should go on until the time you are comfortable sitting in the passenger seat all the time.

Instructions should continue even after your minor child gets a driver’s license. You should go on instructing. Limits should be set by you for the first 3 months, curfews, and insistence on no alcohol and drugs. If you should be going out with your child, insist that he takes the wheels of the car, and watch for his bad habits, pointing them out to him as and when required. Until the child reaches the age of 18, you have the right to suspend or revoke his driver’s license.

Your attempt to instruct your child should be loving and not punitive. It should convey the message that you want him to get the best training possible from you.
