Teen Driving Tips

Whilst most teenagers will be very nervous about learning to drive and taking their driving test, once they have passed they are more often than not ecstatic at finally passing and earning the freedom to drive their own cars.

It is precisely at this stage that the nerves begin to set in for the parents.

Many parents openly admit to anxiety about the idea of their children driving around in their own cars, especially in the early stages. But with our top tips for teen driving, you can reduce the likelihood of any driving accidents significantly for your children.

1.) Never use a mobile. Mobile phones are proven to distract drivers attention from the road, so ensure that your children never text or call (or even use social media) when behind the wheel.

2.) Be wary of extra passengers. Drivers with more passengers in their car are more likely to get up to motoring misdemeanour’s such as speeding, tailgating or general erratic driving. Perhaps limit the amount of passengers for the first year.

3.) No alcohol. Although this seems to go without saying, drink-drivers are still one of the biggest threats on the roads. Not a drop when driving.

4.) Use your seat belts. This is more than a safety procedure, this is the law. Buckling up will not only reduce your risk of driving fines, but it could also save your life.

Safe driving from Britannia!
