Teen Driver Tips Teen Driver Parent Tip #2
You aren't just a parent; you're a driving instructor too.

One of the many unpaid jobs that come with being a parent (in addition to garment washer, chef, and juvenile arbiter) is the role of driving instructor. Take an active role in your teenagers' driving practice. Go out of your way to put them in different driving conditions from packed highway traffic to empty roads at night. The more varied the situations, the more they'll be prepared for.
