Teen Driver Parent Tip #9 No sleep, no car.
It probably seems your teenage son or daughter has a scheduled more packed then your own. Swim practice in the morning, study group after school…getting a consistent and healthy amount of sleep can be a challenge for your teen. The problem is a lack of sleep negatively affects vision, hand-eye coordination, reaction time and judgment -- all crucial elements of safe driving.
