Working parents workshop on new teen drivers safety tips

Part of Teen Drivers Safety Month 

Parents can get nervous when their teen starts driving. It means a newfound freedom for your teen, but you may be concerned about distractions, their inexperience, and aggressive drivers they might encounter. Having a new teen driver in the family is a big deal – for both the child and the parent. As parents, we want to protect our children from all the bad and dangerous things in the world. But in reality, that is not possible. So, the best thing we can do for our children is to provide them with the knowledge to make good responsible choices. We all want our children to be safe when they take to the roads, and to be prepared for the unexpected. Teenage drivers say their parents are the number one influence on how they act when they get behind the wheel. Join this workshop in Teen Drivers Safety Month and hear some tips that we hope will help put your mind at ease. These safety tips can help make sure they’re ready when they get behind the wheel.
