Teen Driver Parent Tip #5
Tell your teen's friends to take a bus.
What's the first thing every teen driver wants to do when they get a license or a new car? Pick up their friends. Letting a new teen driver navigate roads with a car full of teenage friends is like unleashing a bag of circus monkeys into the car -- the experience can be beyond distracting, and a new driver needs 100% of their concentration while driving.
