You never know when another driver will just slam on their brakes, especially when driving on the freeway. He tends not to speed and makes sure that he keeps a distance between his car and the car in front of him. It’s a law in our state, so not wearing it is reason to be pulled over. He puts his seat belt on the moment he gets in the car. In fact, he tells that to any friends that he sees texting while driving. It’s not important enough to risk an accident. He’s always said, even before he was driving, that a text can wait. It’s easy to get distracted while driving, and he doesn’t like the idea of texting and driving.
You never know what the person next to you, behind you or in front of you is going to do, so it’s important to be aware of other drivers around you. That not only means that he must follow the rules of the road, but he must also pay attention to his surroundings. A teen’s point of view on drivingĭriving responsibly is something that he knows is of the utmost importance. I asked him some questions and it shed a whole new light on teen driving for me. So today, I’m sharing a different approach to teen driving, a story from my son’s perspective as a new teen driver. When teens start to drive, it makes them feel more grown up and it may just make them feel “cool.” But the thing is, parents often don’t think of their son’s or daughter’s feelings during this new stage in their life. Getting a driver’s license is a huge stepping stone in your teen’s life as well as your’s and along with it comes a load of emotions and extra worries on parents’ end.
As parents, it can be a challenging time when our kids start to drive.
