Teen Driver Parent Tip #4
Don't skip the drugs and alcohol discussion.
Chances are your child's school has sufficiently enforced the message that drugs and alcohol have no place in the lives of teenagers, and when these items mix with driving, the results are often deadly. Re-enforcing this message for your teen with honest, caring, and non-threatening language is important. Make sure your teen knows that if they are in a situation where the only ride home is with a friend possibly under the influence, you'll be there for them at any time of the night as a ride home, no questions asked.
