Teen Driver Parent Tip #8
Keep the cell phone in the glove box.
The last place you want a cell phone in a car is glued to your teen driver's ear.

A cell phone is crucial for emergency use, and stress to your teen that it's the only situation they should really be using a phone for. Texting, while a natural extension of every teenager's ability to communicate, should be forbidden as well.
