Teen Driver Website

Wednesday, October 20, 2010

One of the scariest phrases a parent of a teen will ever hear is: "Mom, Dad, can I have the keys?" Picturing your teenager behind the wheel can make you feel worried, excited and anxious. This past summer, AAA clubs throughout the country worked on a new tool to empower parents to get involved with their teen's learning-to-drive process. The announcement of the launch of TeenDriving.AAA.com coincides with National Teen Driver Safety Week, which runs October 17-23.

This state-specific website helps teens and parents understand what both can and should expect as part of the process of getting a license. There's no other site like it. TeenDriving.AAA.com offers answers to these questions and more: What is graduated driver licensing? What is a supervised instruction permit, and what am I required to do to successfully complete it?

The site includes lots of extras like AAA's Dare to Prepare workshop and lessons from AAA's Teaching Your Teens to Drive coaching program, both of which assist families that are or soon will be learning to drive. There's more in store. Check it out.
