Synopsis
A 16-year-old is 12 times more likely to die in a motor vehicle crash than his or her parents. Don't leave this important skill to chance. Safe Young Drivers offers a step-by-step guide that will help you teach your teenager safe driving skills. With ten practical lessons, you and your teen will move from the pre-driving checklist through basic moves, back roads and quiet streets and on to highways, night driving and heavy traffic. Author Phil Berardelli, a journalist, former teacher and father of two, offers common sense advice for parents teaching this lifesaving skill, and he addresses teens with refreshing candor.
