SAFE DRIVING TIPS FOR TEENS:
Don’t be Reckless. Learning to drive for the first time makes teenagers high-risk drivers, which is one of the reasons why the cost of car insurance for teens is so high.
Avoid Distractions. Sadly, due to higher rates of distracted driving,15 to 20-year-olds are 33% more likely to die in crashes than the national average across all age groups.
Scan the Road. Check your surroundings by peering down intersecting streets and looking at the rearview mirror to see what other cars are doing.
Slow Down. Speeding drivers are more likely to die in fatal crashes at night than during the daytime.
Wear the Right Shoes. Take the heels off and keep a pair of flats on hand to avoid the heel getting jammed into the gas or brake pedals.
