Should parents indulge in training their teens to drive?
Edward Furlary : I have two teens a boy and a girl and I am very anxious of their safety while driving and keeping them safe besides the low insurance. I try to teach them driving, is this fine?
Parental indulgence and teen driving
Response : Edward, this is absolutely fine and the right thing. Let me tell you the results of an experiment done by State Farm which shows that :
“Compared with teens whose parents were uninvolved, kids who said their parents set clear rules and monitored their whereabouts without being overly controlling had half as many crashes and much better driving habits.
These teens were 71 percent less likely to drive while drunk and 30 percent less likely to use a cell phone while driving than kids with uninvolved parents.
Dr. Niranjan Karnik, a University of Chicago specialist in adolescent mental health, said the research underscores the importance of appropriate parenting and widely enacted graduated licensing laws for teens.
Debby Hendricks of Hatfield, Pa. made her daughters wait until age 17 to get their licenses, and gave them lots of driving practice beforehand.
The girls, aged 17 and 19, also share a family car, and can’t “just grab the keys and leave” without saying where they’re going and with whom, Hendricks said.
So far so good — neither girl has been in an accident, although the younger one, Leslie, has only had her license for a few months.
Leslie considers herself a safe driver, but adds, “I probably do underestimate the risks.”
Parents are requested to spend sometime with their teenagers in teaching them safety, young drivers need to be careful and establish a good record for teen auto insurance quote.

Hey I just wanted to let you know, I really like the writing on your website. But I am utilising Chromium on a machine running version 9.04 of Crashbang Ubuntu and the UI aren’t quite proper. Not a important deal, I can still basically read the articles and explore for information, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of tough to use with the config I’m running. Keep up the great work!
